#' @title Current values of all model parameters
#' 
#' @description For a given set of values for the parameters to be estimated, 
#'    this method returns an array containing the actual (not log-transformed)
#'    values of all model parameters, not just those to be estimated,
#'    in the same order as specified in the model. This is helpful 
#'    when simulating the model at a given position in parameter space.
#' 
#' @param options list with entries as explained below. 
#'    Options set -- defines the problem and sets some
#'    parameters to control the MCMC algorithm.
#' model: List of model parameters - to estimate. 
#'    The parameter objects must each have a
#'    'value' attribute containing the parameter's numerical value.
#' estimate_params: list. 
#'    List of parameters to estimate, all of which must also be listed
#'    in 'options$model$parameters'.
#' initial_values: list of float, optional. 
#'    Starting values for parameters to estimate. If omitted, will use
#'    the nominal values from 'options$model$parameters'
#' step_fn: callable f(output), optional. 
#'    User callback, called on every MCMC iteration.
#' likelihood_fn: callable f(output, position). 
#'    User likelihood function.
#' prior_fn: callable f(output, position), optional. 
#'    User prior function. If omitted, a flat prior will be used.
#' nsteps: int. 
#'    Number of MCMC iterations to perform.

#' norm_step_size: float, optional. 
#'    MCMC step size. Defaults to a reasonable value.
#' hessian_period: int, optional. 
#'    Number of MCMC steps between Hessian recalculations. Defaults
#'    to a reasonable but fairly large value, as Hessian calculation is expensive.
#' hessian_scale: float, optional. 
#'    Scaling factor used in generating Hessian-guided steps. Defaults to a
#'    reasonable value.
#' sigma_adj_interval: int, optional. 
#'    How often to adjust 'output$sig_value' while annealing to meet
#'    'accept_rate_target'. Defaults to a reasonable value.
#' anneal_length: int, optional. 
#'    Length of initial "burn-in" annealing period. Defaults to 10% of
#'    'nsteps', or if 'use_hessian' is TRUE, to 'hessian_period' (i.e. 
#'    anneal until first hessian is calculated)
#' T_init: float, optional. 
#'    Initial temperature for annealing. Defaults to a resonable value.
#' accept_rate_target: float, optional. 
#'    Desired acceptance rate during annealing. Defaults to a reasonable value.
#'    See also 'sigma_adj_interval' above.
#' sigma_max: float, optional. 
#'    Maximum value for 'output$sig_value'. Defaults to a resonable value.
#' sigma_min: float, optional. 
#'    Minimum value for 'output$sig_value'. Defaults to a resonable value. 
#' sigma_step: float, optional. 
#'    Increment for 'output$sig_value' adjustments. Defaults to a resonable 
#'    value. To eliminate adaptive step size, set sigma_step to 1.
#' thermo_temp: float in the range [0,1], optional. 
#'    Temperature for thermodynamic integration support. Used to scale
#'    likelihood when calculating the posterior value. Defaults to 1,
#'    i.e. no effect.
