Hello everybody!

I wonder how is it possible to choose an independence MH sampler and a random walk one. According to the user’s guide and one topic I found on the forum it is random walk that is used by default. However when I looked into dynare files I noticed one entitled independent\_metropolis\_hastings. So I assume it is avaialable somehow. Thank you for your help!
