"acceptance walk" implementation in the sampling methods? #445

dynesty (2.1.1)

Is there a new sampling method (apart from 'unif', 'rwalk', 'slice', 'rslice', 'hslice') called 'acceptance walk' in the latest dynesty version (2.1.1)? I actually read it in a research paper. I thought it is implemented in the dynasty. However, when I searched for it, I couldn't find it. Could you please let me know whether it is indeed the case?

The sampling methods provided by dynesty are: 'unif', 'rwalk', 'slice', 'rslice', 'hslice' and nothing else.

It is possible however to use external user provided samplers.
