A statistical test for Nested Sampling algorithms

Nested sampling is an iterative integration procedure that shrinks the prior volume towards higher likelihoods by removing a “live” point at a time. A replacement point is drawn uniformly from the prior above an ever-increasing likelihood threshold. Thus, the problem of drawing from a space above a...
