I am running chains with the CPL parametrization w(z)=w0+wa*(1-a).
However, I am thinking of this parametrization in the context of quintessence (scalar field) dark energy models which mean w(z)>-1 for all z, which translates to w0+wa>-1. I want to impose this condition as a hard prior.
In CosmologyParametrizations.f90, within the function TP_NonBaseParameterPriors, I wrote the following:
Code: Select all
if (CMB%wa + CMB%w < -1.0) return
However, I noticed that my chains are still accepting points with w0+wa<-1 (not much smaller than -1, like -1.02 or so, but nonetheless the hard prior should cut these points out). Do you have any idea if and where my mistake is? The above is the only change I made in the source folder.
Thanks a lot! Cheers,
Sunny
