Dear Antony and all,
I am having a question for the sampling of fast/slow parameters. I have many fast parameters (>40). When I sample them together with the usual slow parameters (\Omega_b h^2, \Omega_c h^2, \theta, etc), they are sampled well but the slow parameters are sort of stuck in the parameter space. Any idea why this happens and is there an easy fix?
Btw, I am using the default fast/slow sampling setting as below,
sampling_method = 7
dragging_steps = 3
propose_scale = 2
Thanks,
GB

Re: CosmoMC: Fast/slow parameters
Not waited for it to converge, or the slow parameter initial steps sizes/covariance are wrong? Do you have lots of out put samples?
You can decrease dragging_steps to balance things more in favour of the slow parameters.

Thanks Antony. The covariance is correct for the slow parameters and I have normal output samples. I will experiment on dragging_steps.
Thanks again,
