#' Plot parameter distributions from multistart objects
#'
#' Produces a boxplot with all parameters from the multiple runs, scaled
#' either by the parameters of the run with the highest likelihood,
#' or by their medians as proposed in the paper by Duchesne et al. (2021).
#'
#' @param object The [multistart] object
#' @param llmin The minimum likelihood of objects to be shown
#' @param scale By default, scale parameters using the best available fit.
#' If 'median', parameters are scaled using the median parameters from all fits.
#' @param main Title of the plot
#' @param lpos Positioning of the legend.
#' @param \dots Passed to [boxplot]
