Pasting in Florian's response for reference
Hello Koen,
sorry that it took me so long to answer.
Regarding the prior: can't you just write in the prior: if not on land set likelihood -Inf or subtract a certain amount from the log likelihood (if you don't want to impose hard constraints)?
I also saw that you compared MCMC (DEzs) with an SMC - this makes sense, just wanted to note that there was an SMC in BT, but not a very good one, but we have worked on a more sophisticated SMC in
Speich, M., Dormann, C. F., & Hartig, F. (2021). Sequential Monte-Carlo algorithms for Bayesian model calibration–A review and method comparison✰. Ecological Modelling, 455, 109608.
The code for this SMC is still in the development branch, I still have to merge with the main branch. I thought this could be possibly of interest.
Best
Florian
