I ran a pre-run to estimate the Total N required to obtain the posterior distribution of my parameters. I got a rounded N of 6 000 000. As this would take weeks (months?) to do, I'd like to know if there is a way to partition this into 12 runs with N = 500 000 and to assemble them into a single run. As far as I know, the mcmc involves random walks, but when I ran two mcmc's I got the same walk (the traces look the same).</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Thanks in advance,</span></div><div> </div><div>Edgar J.
