            For each parameters (key of the dict), if it is to be held fixed
            the value should be the constant float, if it is be searched, the

            Either a dictionary of distribution about which to distribute the

        label, outdir: str
            A label and directory to read/write data from/to
        sftfilepath: str
            File patern to match SFTs
        theta_prior: dict
            Dictionary of priors and fixed values for the search parameters.
            For each parameters (key of the dict), if it is to be held fixed
            the value should be the constant float, if it is be searched, the
            value should be a dictionary of the prior.
        theta_initial: dict, array, (None)
            Either a dictionary of distribution about which to distribute the
            initial walkers about, an array (from which the walkers will be
            scattered by scatter_val), or None in which case the prior is used.
        scatter_val, float or ndim array
            Size of scatter to use about the initialisation step, if given as
            an array it must be of length ndim and the order is given by
            theta_keys

            The number of glitches to allow
        tref, minStartTime, maxStartTime: int
            GPS seconds of the reference time, start time and end time
        nsteps: list (m,)
            List specifying the number of steps to take, the last two entries
            give the nburn and nprod of the 'production' run, all entries
            before are for iterative initialisation steps (usually just one)
            e.g. [1000, 1000, 500].
        dtglitchmin: int
            The minimum duration (in seconds) of a segment between two glitches
            or a glitch and the start/end of the data
        nwalkers, ntemps: int,
            The number of walkers and temperates to use in the parallel
            tempered PTSampler.
        log10temperature_min float < 0
            The  log_10(tmin) value, the set of betas passed to PTSampler are
            generated from np.logspace(0, log10temperature_min, ntemps).
        theta0_idx, int
            Index (zero-based) of which segment the theta refers to - uyseful
            if providing a tight prior on theta to allow the signal to jump
            too theta (and not just from)
        detectors: str
            Two character reference to the data to use, specify None for no
            contraint.
        minCoverFreq, maxCoverFreq: float
            Minimum and maximum instantaneous frequency which will be covered
            over the SFT time span as passed to CreateFstatInput
        earth_ephem, sun_ephem: str
            Paths of the two files containing positions of Earth and Sun,
            respectively at evenly spaced times, as passed to CreateFstatInput
