#Overview of Command-line Parameters

Parameter Explanation
--mcmc INT Support values for the delimitation (INT steps).
--mcmc_sample INT Sample every INT iteration (default: 1000).
--mcmc_log Log samples and create SVG plot of log-likelihoods.
--mcmc_burnin INT Ignore all MCMC steps below threshold.
--mcmc_chains INT Run multiple chains.
--mcmc_credible REAL Credible interval.
--mcmc_startnull Start each chain with the null model (one single species).
--mcmc_startrandom Start each chain with a random delimitation.
--mcmc_startml Start each chain with the delimitation obtained by the Maximum-likelihood heuristic.
