e
Markov chain has equilibrated then all Markov chain plus function
compositions should be consistent with convergence. Formally, any
function that appears inconsistent is of concern and although it would
be unreasonable to test every function, <code>lp__</code> and other
measured quantities should at least be consistent.</p>
<p>The obvious difference in <code>lp__</code> is that it tends to vary
quickly with position and is consequently susceptible to outliers.</p>
