Adaptive Rejection Sampling incorrect #61

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Hi, 

I found a bug in the adaptive rejection sampling code -- ars.m

arsEvalHulls returns log-values but they are subsequently treated as 
probability values for the accept/reject steps in lines 86 and 91 (eg divided 
with each other and compared to a uniform draw).  This can cause the ARS to 
sample heavier tails than it should.
