MC-TEMP-SCHED: Specify temperature schedule for tempering methods. Usage: mc-temp-sched log-file { inv-temp[@bias][:n] } or: mc-temp-sched log-file The first form appends a tempering schedule to a log file, which must already exist, but not have iterations stored yet. For the second form, the schedule stored in the log file is displayed. A schedule consists of one or more inverse "temperatures", in the interval [0,1), which are normally monotonically increasing. An inverse temperature can be specified directly, or in the form "/temp", with "temp" being the non-inverse temperature. A final temperature of 1 is automatically added at the end of the list. With each temperature may optionally be associated a "bias", which is added to the energy of states at that temperature when simulated tempering is done. The default bias is zero, as is that for the final temperature of one. An argument with a colon represents a set of n temperatures/biases starting with that given and continuing up to but not including the next temperature specified (or up to a temperature of one if the argument is the last). The temperatures are interpolated geometrically, the biases linearly. For example, the two arguments "/16@20:2" and "/4@10" give the same results as the three arguments "/16@20", "/8@15", and "/4@10". Copyright (c) 1995 by Radford M. Neal
