DEV: update custom dynesty proposals
Loading
Maintenance will be performed on git.ligo.org, containers.ligo.org, and docs.ligo.org on Tuesday 22 April 2025 starting at approximately 9am PDT. It is expected to take around 30 minutes and there will be several periods of downtime throughout the maintenance. Please address any comments, concerns, or questions to the helpdesk. This maintenance will be upgrading the GitLab database in order to be ready for the migration.
This is my latest attempt to improve the sampling used within our wrapper of dynesty
.
I've wound up having three prescriptions for the MCMC length that have different benefits/disadvantages.
I also added differential evolution proposals that seem to perform much better than the ellipsoidal proposals, especially in multimodal spaces.
