Arguments

n_updates: number of updates per iteration.
bracket_limits: limits for the slice bracket width, defaults to (0,Inf).
scale_constant: constant multiple of the adaptations determined by scale_cooling.
scale_cooling: rate at which to cool the adaptation, defaults to 0.5. Adaptation contributions are governed by a harmonic sequence: scale_constant/(iteration/step_size+1)^scale_cooling. The plot_adaptations function may be used to plot the adaptation factors.
step_size: adaptation increment for each iteration, defaults to 1.
stop_adaptation: iteration at which adaptation should be terminated, defaults to 0 for no adaptation.
adaptation_offset: iteration offset
nugget: nugget for proposal covariance
nugget_cooling: rate at which to cool the nugget, defaults to 0.9. Adaptation contributions are governed by a harmonic sequence: scale_constant/(iteration/step_size+1)^scale_cooling. The plot_adaptations function may be used to plot the adaptation factors.
nugget_step_size: increment for each iteration, defaults to 100/number of iterations.
initial_bracket_width: initial width of the slice bracket
