Hi,

Is there an easy way to plot the posterior distributions after running the Metropolis Hastings?

Is there a way to do it on top of the priors and including the mode?

Thanks for any help, I am new at this.

You have to plot this manually. In oo\_.posterior\_density you should find the posterior densities for plotting. The priors you would have to plot manually using the codes in plot\_priors.m. The mode is saved in oo\_.posterior\_mode.
