RE: Output of each chain in Bayses and ISAMPLE >1
MCMC automatically sets ISAMPLE=1 for its run. ISAMPLE>1 is only for
SAEM. To perform multiple chains, you must run separate control stream
problems with different initial SEED settings.

Subject: [NMusers] Output of each chain in Bayses and ISAMPLE >1
Dear nmusers,
To compute the DIC from using Plummer's definition, I need the output of
multiple chains in BAYES. With ISAMPLE=2, I did not get an mcmc trace
that
was different from the default of ISAMPLE=1.
Do I have to add some other statement for separate printing? The only
mentioning of the word "chain" in the complete documentation I found was
in
context of ISAMPLE.
