st: Package AMCMC - mata functions for adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo

[Matthew Baker <matthew.baker@hunter.cuny.edu>]

Dear Listers;

With the much-appreciated help of Kit Baum, the package AMCMC is now
posted on ssc. The description follows:

TITLE
      'AMCMC': module to provide Mata functions and structures for
adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)

       amcmc is a collection of functions for performing adaptive
      Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling in Mata. Functions can be
      implemented as a Mata function, or using a series of structured
      commands. The function(s) can be used to sample from stand alone
      distributions, set up to work with models pre-programmed with
      moptimize or optimize, and set up to function as a step in a
      larger algorithm.
