Hello. A comment on the title -- I've never seen the method in question called by "Metropolis-Hastings Markov Chain Monte Carlo Sampling". A google search finds only two instances of the words in the title ([1] and [2]), excluding many Wikipedia copies. I think the shorter names "Metropolis-Hastings algorithm" and "Markov chain Monte Carlo" are more common. I'm inclined to rename the article to "Markov chain Monte Carlo" and make "Metropolis-Hastings algorithm" redirect to that. Any comments? Happy editing, Wile E. Heresiarch 22:59, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
