(more) stable proposal correction for CDELFI #25

Closed mnonnenm closed 6 years ago

mnonnenm commented 6 years ago

currently the CDELFI implementation does not check whether MoG components have zero weight (MoG.a[i]=0 for some component i) before attempting to correct for the proposal.

Since posterior components with zero weight have virtually unrestricted precision matrices, this poses a risk for the proposal correction, since the correction assumes that each component has at least the precision of the proposal (minus the precision of the prior).
