getting a nan value for sigma of cosmological parameters in using montepython #78

Closed mahtaparsa closed 6 years ago

mahtaparsa commented 7 years ago

Dear all, When I use montepython for constraining the cosmological parameters, a nan value for sigma, 1-sigma, 2-sigma, ... would appear, and in likelihood diagrams there is "+nan" value for sigma related to cosmo, nuisance (usually for Planck data), or derived parameters. I can not understand what is the problem. Thanks your suggestions.

The problem it your chains have not converged. Either because you haven't sampled enough points (you set the number using the -N setting), or for a variety of reasons, such as poor constraints from the data or parameter degeneracy.
