Description

We already have some documentation on the use of mixed models, but i can be improved.

e.g.

  • What are the semantics of @Pinned and @PinnedtoIndex when using a mixed model?
  • How are these variables initialized? (I am seeing 2 construction heuristic phases)
  • What pitfalls are there? (need more nudging of custom moves to not only change just 1 variable?)
  • ....

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing mixed-model documentation and the behavior of @Pinned and @PinnedtoIndex. Document their semantics, variable initialization and construction heuristic phases, and pitfalls around custom moves; the work is done when these questions are clearly answered.
