problem about getdist margestats

Post by Duke Deng » January 28 2019

Hi,
I have a problem when using getdist to get .margestats file of my chain. The samples of one my parameter gather at one side in the 1D marginalized density plot. However, when I get the .margestats file, the mean(4.09) of this parameter is larger than its upper1(3.97). I wonder if it is normal in getdist? Under what circumstances will this happen? Thanks a lot !

Anything sufficiently skewed can have a mean larger than a 1 sigma upper confidence limit. Even a half Gaussian has mean at the 60% limit.
