Has any progress been made on merging this branch in? I'm looking at using MixSIAR on a high-performance computing cluster and it'd be great if I could get the performance...

I've taken a quick look—merged master, installed and tried to run the tests. 9 of the tests fail with the same error—"object 'mcmc' not found"—which at a guess I presume...

I've looked into this some more and it appears at least on the surface that the bug is in `R2jags::jags.parallel` rather than in MixSIAR; removing `"mcmc", "mcmc.list",` from line 63...

Thanks for confirming that—you're right, reinventing a lot of machinery that has already been built to fix this issue seems a lot of work. As an alternative approach I've pulled...

> One more thing to check is that the initial values passed to each chain are truly different. This is something that I read about with jags.parallel and possibly other...

@galenholt As a warning, the user working with this has come back to me this week and pointed out that the results from the parallel version don't match the results...

Would the intention be to use a different list of names in different episodes? I was under the impression that the names were being kept the same between the two...

If the name list is kept consistent between the episodes that use `names` lists, then I would support replacing Darwin with Sally Ride as well (with or without replacing Turing...

Worth noting that this _also_ asserts that if the element is numeric, that it is not in the range $(-1.0, 1.0)$. This is also not currently documented, and it's not...

I've also just hit this; it means I can't write a valid quirk for manuscriptcentral.com.
