CosmoMC: Fix the stepsize of a given parameter

Post by gongbo zhao » December 29 2007

Dear all,

Is it straightforward to fix the stepsize of a given parameter for MCMC?
For example, what to do if I am playing with an integer parameter?
Thanks very much and Happy new year!!



Cheers

You could write your own "propose" module, or you can easily internally convert a real to an integer when you come to use the parameter.
