<p>The Metropolis-Hastings Sampler is the most common Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo (MCMC) algorithm used to sample from arbitrary probability density functions (PDF). Suppose you want to simulate samples from a random variable which can be described by an arbitrary PDF, i.e., any function which integrates to 1 over a given interval. This algorithm will do just that, as illustrated by the Plot done with Matplotlib. Notice how the samples follow the theoretical PDF.</p>

<p>The gibbs sampler is an iterative conditional sampler from multidimensional probability density functions (PDFs). The resulting sample is plotted as a scatter plot with the Matplotlib module.</p>
