Move MCMCSummary to MCMC diagnostics in the docs #1281

Open DavAug opened 3 years ago

DavAug commented 3 years ago

After a while I found the pints.MCMCSummary object with the MCMC samplers in the documentation, and I was somehow expecting it to be with the diagnostics.

Is this just me or is it worth maybe moving the MCMCSummary documentation to the diagnostics?

MichaelClerx commented 3 years ago

Maybe even the other way around? All other MCMC-only stuff is currently under "MCMC Samplers", so perhaps the MCMC diagnostics and this summary should both be there?

DavAug commented 3 years ago

That would work for me!

Hey @ben18785 , would this make sense? Or are the diagnostics in _diagnostic.py useful for sampling in general?

ben18785 commented 3 years ago

Hmm. Well, as it stands the diagnostics are only for MCMC methods but, in the future, I'd envision having other diagnostics in there. But they could always be housed in different folders. I really don't mind either way! To be honest, I would be guided by "Do what's easiest to change" here.

Cool! I similarly don't mind @DavAug , so you can decide!
