What are some ways to improve convergence for a model with, say, 4 continuous random variables with uniform priors (with reasonable, engineering-judgment-based lower and upper bounds) and a black-box likelihood? I tried increasing the number of samples, but I’m still getting rhat statistic larger th…

Are the estimates you get reasonable?
