Parameters:

• prob_func (function) – A function that takes in a dictionary of parameters and returns a tuple of (probability, value)

• params (ParamDict) – A dictionary of parameters to be varied

run(n)

Run the MCMC sampling

Parameters:

n (int) – Number of MCMC iterations to perform (number of samples will be less than n due to rejection sampling)

Return type:

None

Return the samples

get_samples_pandas()

Return the samples as a pandas dataframe

get_probs()

Return the probabilities

get_values()

Return the values
