Question About Results and Parameter "Scale" in the Code

[silviabonomi]

Dear Caoyunkang,

Thank you for your code. I would like to ask how you obtained the results reported in the README file. I've tried to run your code as it is in your repository, with the same parameters, but I obtained different results. Did you set something differently with respect to your last commit?

Moreover, I'd like to ask for more details about the parameter "scale," which seems incomplete. I'm not entirely sure how it is used in the code.

Thank you for your help.

Silvia
