Answer #1
  • If we use one dimensional student t distribution , then the answer is No. We don't use Metropolis algorithm in one dimensional distribution, since Metropolis algorithm has autocorrelation problem. This problem can avoided in one dimensional distribution by using Accept Rejection algorithm..
  • But if we have a multidimensional student t distribution then we use Metropolis algorithm to generate a random sample.
