Brewer Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:47:52 +0000 http://hea-www.harvard.edu/AstroStat/slog/2007/wrong-priors/#comment-1069 Hi, This is a very old post, but I just figured out what's going on. Carlos got wrong answers in his MCMC because with the diffuse prior there is a massive phase transition and you need Nested Sampling. There is nothing "wrong" about the diffuse prior in this problem. Cheers, Brendon Hi,
