Random walk Metropolis algorithm of a posterior distribution
Simulates iterates of a random walk Metropolis chain for an arbitrary real-valued posterior density defined by the user
rwmetrop(logpost,proposal,start,m,...)
| logpost | function defining the log posterior density | 
| proposal | a list containing var, an estimated variance-covariance matrix, and scale, the Metropolis scale factor | 
| start | vector containing the starting value of the parameter | 
| m | the number of iterations of the chain | 
| ... | data that is used in the function logpost | 
| par | a matrix of simulated values where each row corresponds to a value of the vector parameter | 
| accept | the acceptance rate of the algorithm |
