Parameter.scale: ScalarPhysicalValue#

The characteristic scale \(x_0\) for this parameter.

Every physical value is divided by this scale before the prior is consulted, so the prior itself can be defined in convenient, unit-free terms. Use a Quantity whenever the parameter has physical units; a bare float/int is only appropriate for a genuinely dimensionless parameter.

Type:

Quantity, float, or int
