- handle sub lists of individual samplers
- split checks in dynare_estimation_init.m and before running posterior_sampler.m [invhess checks]
- posterior sampler options checks moved from initial_estimation_checks.m to check_posterior_sampler_options.m
- added use_mh_covariance_matrix to imh and rwmh
- slice re-sets mode_compute=0 cova_compute=0
- updated test function
It generalizes the random_walk_metropolis_hastings.m structure but adds two new items:
- check_posterior_sampler_options.m which is a wrapper for method specific options (stored in options_.posterior_options)
- posterior_sampler_iteration.m which is a wrapper of the individual iteration of any posterior sampler.
It already embeds, with parallelization implementation:
- random_walk metropolis hastings
- independent metropolis hastings
- slice sampler
It also contains a quick fix for TARB, although the latter should be embedded in posterior_sampler_iteration.m as well.
Any new posterior sampler can be simply added to posterior_sampler_iteration.m, with wrapper to specific iterations in check_posterior_sampler_options.m
