Ha, interesting! Yes, that may be fairly condemning. Your example may be a good one for the paper as it illustrates how we can easily switch between samplers in PINTS....

I don't understand why the below returns a non-zero number: ``` dist = scipy.stats.multivariate_normal(mean=[16, 12], cov=[[0.8, 0.2], [0.1, 1.4]]) dist.pdf([3, 4]) ``` here `cov` is not symmetric, so does not...

It's fine for us not to test it in that case (I do think the scipy reasoning is a bit weak though: if you're afraid of numerical round off, fine,...

Actually, I'm now less sure: we _do_ have such a test in the GaussianLogPDF, so I'm just going to grab this from there.

Hi Michael, Thanks! I've edited the comment to remove those methods I think are duplicates. Not sure what to call SIS MCMC -- it's an approach that can be applied...

I like the parameter names idea! Especially if/when we make a sampling result object... > On 28 Sep 2019, at 20:24, Michael Clerx wrote: > > Two options: > >...

Yep, think we should -- in typical ABC problems they often exist. They're a class of ABC methods that are of growing importance. On Fri, Aug 2, 2019 at 4:32...

Happy to discuss! Definitely worth reading up on this though if you have time -- the lazy ABC paper and lots of Ruth Baker's papers are based on this idea....
