Add note saying we won't have discrete parameters in PINTS
To begin with we should probably state that PINTS does not allow discrete parameters.
Later on, we should probably implement some discrete samplers - for some of the samplers, these exist and are straightforward.
However should encourage users to marginalise out their discrete variables when possible due to Rao-Blackwellisation.
Just decided in meeting that current solution is:
- [ ] To begin with we should probably state that PINTS does not allow discrete parameters.
@ben18785 where do you think this note should go? Somewhere in README? Somewhere in the docs?
Yep, in the README -- I can't think where it would go in the docs (other than in lots of places!)
