class RooStats::ProposalFunction: public TObject


ProposalFunction is an interface for all proposal functions that would be used with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Given a current point in the parameter space it proposes a new point. Proposal functions may or may not be symmetric, in the sense that the probability to propose X1 given we are at X2 need not be the same as the probability to propose X2 given that we are at X1. In this case, the IsSymmetric method should return false, and the Metropolis algorithm will need to take into account the proposal density to maintain detailed balance.

{}
void Propose(RooArgSet& xPrime, RooArgSet& x)
 Populate xPrime with the new proposed point,
 possibly based on the current point x
Bool_t IsSymmetric(RooArgSet& x1, RooArgSet& x2)
 Determine whether or not the proposal density is symmetric for
 points x1 and x2 - that is, whether the probabilty of reaching x2
 from x1 is equal to the probability of reaching x1 from x2

 Return the probability of proposing the point x1 given the starting
 point x2
bool CheckParameters(RooArgSet& params)
 Check the parameters for which the ProposalFunction will
 propose values to make sure they are all RooRealVars
 Return true if all objects are RooRealVars, false otherwise
