Expand Up @@ -28,4 +28,4 @@ Why is the posterior noisy despite having a large effective sample size?

This commonly happens if users are working with equal-weight posteriors by setting ``equal_weight=True``. However, ``nautilus`` naturally produces an unequal-weight posterior. The equal-weight posterior is effectively a noisy estimate of the unequal-weight posterior. It is not recommended to work with the equal-weight posterior if one wants the most precise posterior estimate.

By default, the equal-weight posterior under the condition that no posterior point appears twice and can be very noisy. However, by setting ``equal_weight_boost`` to a value larger than unity, the equal-weight posterior is allowed to have duplicates. The higher the value of ``equal_weight_boost``, the better the equal-weight posterior approximates the unequal-weight posterior, increasing its precision. This is the recommended solution if the downstream analysis cannot handle unequal-weight posteriors. This feature was introduced in ``nautilus`` version 1.0.5.
