This function creates an R object that contains the parameter values read from the
last generation of a previous MCMC run. This R object can then be used to initiate
a subsequent analysis, effectively creating a single long chain. [A single MCMC
object from both runs can be created using the function
link.up.posteriors
].
make.continuing.params(MCMC.output, file.name)
The standard MCMC output file generated from a BEDASSLE run.
The user-defined name assigned to the R object of parameters to be used in continuing analysis.
