Abstract
⺠Potential problems of using MCMC for model parameter estimation are discussed. ⺠Marginal distribution mean/median may not coincide with estimates minimizing model error or maximizing the likelihood. ⺠Marginal distributions may over estimate model coefficient uncertainty. ⺠A Monte Carlo simulation for subsequent inference using MCMC output as input is recommended.
