You can find it at: https://github.com/Atrix256/MetropolisMCMC In previous posts I showed how to generate random numbers from a specific distributing by using two techniques: Rejection Sampling: https://blog.demofox.org/2017/08/08/generating-random-numbers-from-a-specific-distribution-with-rejection-sampling/ Inverting the CDF: https://blog.demofox.org/2017/08/05/generating-random-numbers-from-a-specific-distribution-by-inverting-the-cdf/ This post will show how to do it...
