MCMC Walker start position tutorial #124

Closed henry-ngo closed 5 years ago

henry-ngo commented 5 years ago

For Issue #116

In this tutorial, I walked through how to create a N-d Gaussian cloud/ball of walkers centered on a given point with some given spread. But this can start walkers outside of prior space or even outside of physically possible values.

So, a user would need to do some validation or change the distribution of some parameters to be non-Gaussian. I gave an example of both in the tutorial but the tutorial itself does not fix every possible problem. I decided to leave it to the user to do the rest but if you think there are more things needed, then let me know!
