Table 1.

Overview of the transformations used in the Warp-III implementation. 𝜃i denotes a parameter and ωi denotes the corresponding new parameter that is obtained after having transformed 𝜃i to the real line. l denotes a parameter lower bound and u denotes an upper bound. Φ(⋅) denotes the cumulative distribution function and ϕ(⋅) the probability density function of the normal distribution. The table displays the parameter type, the corresponding transformation, inverse-transformation, and the relevant Jacobian contribution
