These can be difficult to initialise and/or tune, and require complicated
checks of the chain convergence to determine when to terminate the computation,
and how to select good posterior samples from the chain.
MCMC tends to be computationally costly, and difficult to parallelise.
MCMC has limitations when models have multiple posterior peaks. These are
The MCMC variants have limitations when models have multiple posterior peaks. These are
common in the additive models typically considered in X-ray astronomy
when combined with data sets of low spectral quality.
For these reasons, Bayesian X-ray analyses, as implemented in existing
