Hello,
is it still possible to use old mh_files when the prior distributions have been changed?
Thank you in advance.

I infer from your answer that in the mh files it is not only the likelihood of the model which is stored but its mutltiplication with the prior density.
Thanks a lot.

the parameter draws that are saved in the mh files are chosen by evaluating the posterior ( constant * likelihood * prior) at each iteration of the mcmc. so how can we change the prior, once we load old mh_files??
cheers
