Evolution in the proposal density distribution as a function of AMCMC step. (A) A value proportional to the volume of the P-dimensional hyperellipsoid that encloses the proposal density distribution (∏(·)) for the AMCMC algorithm shown as a function of MCMC step for Chain 1. (B) The change in the eigenvalues of ∏(·) as a function of MCMC step indicate the contraction and expansion along different orthogonal directions of the hyperellipsoid, shown for one of the parallel chains.
