Prior question
Posted: February 21 2018
Hi ,
When introducing the a new variable and its prior in params_CMB_default.ini, we have the following format.
center, min, max, start width, propose width
this I assume is a flat prior. Why are we entering a Center value when max and min are given? Is there some special reason for inputting this ?
The reason I ask is because when I make the likelihood plot for my new variable , I see my peak is always near the center value I enter.
Any Insight is appreciated.
Thanks
