Adding an ACT estimate for the walks
-
Improvements to the bilby implemented rwalk method
-
rwalk
a new implementation which calculates an ACT to better estimate the number of steps needed
-
-
The
rwalk
sample method now defaults tobilby.core.sample.dynesty.sample_rwalk_bilby_with_act
which adds themaxmcmc
,nact
. These control the maximum number of walks, the number of ACT required before accepting a point. -
Uses the CPNest method to calculate the ACT
-
Adds a guide to the documentation on using
dynesty
-
Updates the default vol_dec to 8 and enlarge to 1.5 which was found to improve boundary behaviour Note: during development, I experimented with adding a Jacobian and adaptive walks. I found in practise these didn't help sampling so I've removed them for simplicity.
-
Updates the walks to default to 100. This is now the minimum number of steps.
