MC-QUANTITIES: Quantities from log files relating to Monte Carlo simulation.
The quantities below relating to Markov chain Monte Carlo can be
obtained from log files (eg, for use in xxx-plt). Note that the
generic quantities documented in quantities.doc will also be
available, as will quantities specific to the particular Markov chain
application being used.
T Temperature used this iteration (NOT the simulated tempering temp)
E Potential energy at end of iteration
K Kinetic energy at end of iteration
H Total energy at end of iteration (sum of E and K)
D[n] Change in total energy for last state proposed (up to max of n)
i Inverse temperature (for simulated tempering)
I Index of current inverse temperature value
j Direction of change for inverse temperature
J Higher temperature for attempted transition (meaningful only if
last operation in iteration was sim-temp)
d Heatbath decay factor used in this iteration
f Stepsize factor used in this iteration
F Stepsize factor used in this iteration divided by two
m Point last moved to (zero is starting point)
r Rejection rate for this iteration
e Average number of evaluations per slice sampling update this iteration
k Cumulative cpu usage in minutes.
qn Component n of position
pn Component n of momentum
sn Stepsize selected by application for component n
None of these quantities can be used with a range; 'q', 'p', and 's'
must have a modifier, 'D' may have a modifier, the others may not have
a modifier. Momenta of zero are assumed if none exist.
