[ADMB Users] Very simple possibly documented question.

[Steve Martell]

What are you using as the -mcsave option?

I don't know if things have changed lately, but I would use

./myprog -mcmc 12510 -mcsave 10

this should result in 1251 samples in the psv file.  That is, save every 10'th draw from the posterior.

Perhaps I am doing something foolish, however it appears that the psv file being returned has only 10000 samples and it is causing me some difficulty in sizing matrices in R.  It is fine if admb just does mcmc according to the order of magnitude... it just seems undocumented.
