Does prior[paramname] overwrite param[paramname]?
Posted: April 25 2017
Dear Antony et al.,
I have a basic question concerning priors (Gaussian or flat) on parameters in CosmoMC. If I add a new parameter, let's call it paramname:
1) if I want to give it a Gaussian prior via do I still need to specify a range (i.e. a flat prior) anyway (e.g. in the same .ini file?)
2) as a corollary of the above (assuming it is correct), does always overwrite , although the latter is always necessary?
Thanks! Cheers,
Sunny

Code: Select all
prior[paramname]=mean std
Code: Select all
param[paramname] = center min max start_width propose_width
Code: Select all
prior[paramname]
Code: Select all
param[paramname]
Thanks! Cheers,
