Understand if probability function is differentiable #8

Closed dstansby closed 1 year ago

Some MCMC packages make use of posterior probability functions that can be differentiated to speed up evaluation. Need to understand if the posterior probability function for DEM inversions is differentiable.

Had a think about this for a bit, and for now I think it's easiest to leave this on the back burner as a potential future development. For ease we should just use a non-differentiable MCMC implementation to get started.

Had more of a think about this, and it's definitely differentiable 👍
