Announcing the latest version (6.1.0) of the GNU MCSim simulation software (see http://www.gnu.org/software/mcsim for info).
GNU MCSim is a simulation package which allows you to design your own models (eventually dynamic, via ODEs) and to perform simple simulations, Monte Carlo stochastic simulations, Bayesian inference through Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations, or formally optimize experimental designs. Version 6.1.0 offers an automatic setting of the inverse-temperature scale in simulated tempering MCMC. This greatly facilitates the uses of this powerful algorithm (convergence is reached faster, only one chain needs to be run if inverse-temperature zero is in the scale, Bayes factors can be calculated for model choice). GNU MCSim is GNU software.

The source code (tar.gz archive) is available on http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcsim/ or ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mcsim/ Frederic Bois fb...@member.fsf.org -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
