\begin{Description}\relax
A numeric vector indicating which chains to write to file and, for those
parameters that are written to file, how often the chains should be
written to file.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
output(object)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{object}] An object of class \code{XdeParameter} or \code{XdeMcmc} 
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
Replacement methods are only available for objects
of class \code{XdeParameter}.  Accessor methods are available for
objects of class \code{XdeParameter} and \code{XdeMcmc}.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
A named numerical vector.  The first element (thin) specifies how often to write
chains to file.  For instance, if output[1]=2 the chains will be
written to file every other iteration.  Elements 2 - 22 of the vector
are indicators for whether to write the write the chains of the
Bayesian parameters to file.
\end{Value}
\begin{Note}\relax
Parameters indexed by gene and study (Delta, Phi, Nu, and sigma2) grow
very large quickly.
