fix MCMC #3

Closed halasadi closed 9 years ago

halasadi commented 9 years ago

MCMC is not working for some known and some unknown reasons. Need to fix.

Implement Desi's suggestions: (1) Try to parameterize rates so that they are in the log scale (2) Investigate priors and hyper-parameters because I'm looking at smaller range of values than eems. (3) To test whether parts other than the birth-death is working, fix the number of tiles and check whether you can recover the true demographic surface. Try uniform grid (ntiles = 1) and barrier (ntiles = 3).
