Figure 2.

The evolution of several superimposed MCMC chains running under different temperatures. Black lines represent the location of each temperature index along the chains. The dashed lines represent the burn-in period after initializing each temperature. The initial temperature is 1 (posterior sampling) and the final temperature is 0 (prior sampling). The samples become increasingly spread out as the posterior transitions to the prior.
