Metropolis Hastings proposal for one parameter restricted to less than the other

Suppose I have parameters $\theta_0$ and $\theta_1$ with prior $$ p(\theta_0,\theta_1)=p(\theta_0|\theta_0<\theta_1)p(\theta_1),$$ that is, $\theta_0$ is less than $\theta_1$. The distributions are …

help interpreting plot of MCMC sample

I am estimating a model using MCMC (Gibbs Sampling). Because of the complexity of the model, I have been running two chains with many iterations. A plot of the draws for each parameter reveals a spi …

stationarity of vector autoregression and Gibbs sampling

I'm estimating a vector autoregression (VAR) using Gibbs sampling. At each iteration, I'd like to check the coefficients to ensure the VAR is stationary. An older, related question has been posted her …
