Hello,
-Steve
Thank you Steve.
I will rerun with -s option.
Regarding my ESS question, yes, I have tuned the -m, -a, and -f parameters. I'm already at 50M iterations which is taking a while, any suggestions on how much more I should increase? Alternately will increasing sampling help increase ESS? My first run was -n 5000, should I try lowering this to -n 1000? Or, is it acceptable to combine results from 5 independent runs to increase ESS?
Thanks again.
Hello,
Sorry for the delayed response - github apparently no longer notifies me of responses to issues after they are initially opened.
You could try to increase sampling interval and see if this helps. I doubt it will make much of a difference, but it's worth a shot.
Yes, it's acceptable to combine results from multiple independent runs as long as it converges upon sampling a similar parameter space. If two runs happen find wildly different results then you wouldn't want to combine them - but from what you have described so far of your dataset I doubt that will happen based upon my experience with this program.

Hi Steve.
Ok, thanks for your reply. I'll try these suggestions and see what works best.
Hello,
I'm using BayesAss3-SNPs with about 17k loci and 4 populations. I'm having a couple of issues.
_BA3-SNPS -F ./BayesAss_Input.immanc -l 17129 -i 50000000 -n 5000 -b 10000000 -o BA3outRun1.txt -m 0.3 -a 0.9 -f 0.1 -u -g -t -v 2>&1 | tee Run1.log
Thank you.
