Table 2. Individual settings and corresponding results achieved with the Metropolis-Hastings method for agnostic, linear, and sigmoidal model (shown in particular rows).

The columns display the following information respectively: the total number of points explored; the number of accepted points; the proportion of accepted points which were trimmed out from the beginning; the initial parametrisation; the computation time (in hours); and the number of dimensions of the explored parameter space (the number of explored parameters).

# iterations # accepted points burn-in period initial parameter computational time # parameters
Agnostic 10,000,000 2,249 25% [0.1, …, 0.1] 15.67h 10
Linear 30,000,000 546,934 25% [0.5, 0.5] 12.56h 2
Sigmoidal 358,287 19,841 25% [50, 5, 5, 0.5] 96h 4
