Dear Statalist,

I'm using the genqreg command in my research:
set seed 5000000
genqreg depvar indepvar1 indepvar2 indepvar3, q(10) optimize(mcmc) noisy draws(1000) burn(100) arate(.5) instruments(indepvar1 indepvar2)

The number of MCMC chains isn't explicitly mentioned in my code and I couldn't find this detail in the genqreg documentation. Could you please inform me about the default number of MCMC chains used by genqreg, and if it's possible to modify this number?

Thank you for your time.
