CosmoMC: Warning from GetDist

Post by Mario Acero » October 19 2007

Hello,
In using getdist to make the analysis of the .tex file, it is producing the following Warning messages:

Code: Select all

 Warning: sharp edge in parameter 6 - check limits6
 Warning: sharp edge in parameter 8 - check limits8
 Warning: sharp edge in parameter 18 - check limits18
 Warning: sharp edge in parameter 18 - check limits18
 Warning: sharp edge in parameter 20 - check limits20
It seems that there is not any error, but I don't understand the meaning of this warning messages.
Could you explain me, please?

Best,

MarioAAO

It means your marginalized distributions are not going smoothly to zero at both ends, and the parameter does not have a fixed prior limit set. Most often this is because you have a hard prior on a parameter (e.g. w<-1), but have a missing limitsxxx setting in the getdist input file.
