15UniformProposal is a concrete implementation of the ProposalFunction interface
16for use with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This proposal function is
17a uniformly random distribution over the parameter space. The proposal
18ignores the current point when it proposes a new point. The proposal
19function is symmetric, though it may not cause a MetropolisHastings run to
20converge as quickly as other proposal functions.
