 - `progress` (default: `AbstractMCMC.PROGRESS[]` which is `true` initially):  toggles progress logging
 - `chain_type` (default: `Any`): determines the type of the returned chain
 - `callback` (default: `nothing`): if `callback !== nothing`, then
-  `callback(rng, model, sampler, sample, state, iteration)` is called after every sampling step,
-  where `sample` is the most recent sample of the Markov chain and `state` and `iteration` are the current state and iteration of the sampler

 - `discard_initial` (default: `0`): number of initial samples that are discarded
 - `thinning` (default: `1`): factor by which to thin samples.
