Control Object

The object of class RSctr represents the control parameter specification for the sampling function rsampler.

A legitimate RSctr object is a list with components

`burn_in`	the number of matrices to be sampled to come close to a stationary distribution.
`n_eff`	the number of effective matrices, i.e., the number of matrices to be generated by the sampling function `rsampler`.
`step`	controls the number number of void matrices generated in the the burn in process and when effective matrices are generated (see note in `rsctrl`).
`seed`	is the indicator for the seed of the random number generator. If the value of seed at equals zero, a seed is generated by the sampling function `rsampler`
`tfixed`	`TRUE` or `FALSE`. `tfixed = TRUE` has no effect if the input matrix is not quadratic, i.e., all matrix elements are considered free (unrestricted). If the input matrix is quadratic, and `tfixed = TRUE`, the main diagonal of the matrix is considered as fixed.

This object is returned from function rsctrl.

This class has a method for the generic summary function.
