Clarification of what I call a CDF

| Jul 25, 2016 at 9:24 | comment | added | Santi Peñate-Vera | Indeed the code is just illustrative, I am asking about conceptual issues. | |

| Jul 24, 2016 at 11:35 | comment | added | Silverfish | I don't think the code here is particularly obtuse so don't think the question would greatly benefit from changing it to pseudo-code, though annotation with comments might be a good idea. | |

| Jul 24, 2016 at 10:29 | comment | added | Glen_b | @Tim The question could be asked in terms of a plain algorithm, though, which would not strike the problem that the on topic page seems to exclude it as it stands. Indeed, I'd like to encourage the OP to take steps to avoid the risk of closure because it I think it would otherwise be a good question | |
| Jul 24, 2016 at 10:25 | comment | added | Tim | @Glen_b even if it is about the code then still I'd say that there are statistical issues that are core of the question rather the coding issues, so I'd say that this is on-topic. | |
| Jul 24, 2016 at 10:24 | comment | added | Glen_b | 1. Are you asking us to check your code? In general that would be seen as off topic (we're not a code review site) $\:$ 2. MCMC is not universally better than ordinary simulation. | |
