def chain(cosmo, data, command_line):
"""
Run a Markov chain of fixed length with a Metropolis Hastings algorithm.
Main function of this module, this is the actual Markov chain procedure.
After having selected a starting point in parameter space defining the
first **last accepted** one, it will, for a given amount of steps :
+ choose randomly a new point following the *proposal density*,
+ compute the cosmological *observables* through the cosmological module,
+ compute the value of the *likelihoods* of the desired experiments at this
point,
+ *accept/reject* this point given its likelihood compared to the one of
the last accepted one.
Every time the code accepts :code:`data.write_step` number of points
(quantity defined in the input parameter file), it will write the result to
disk (flushing the buffer by forcing to exit the output file, and reopen it
again.
.. note::
to use the code to set a fiducial file for certain fixed parameters,
you can use two solutions. The first one is to put all input 1-sigma
proposal density to zero (this method still works, but is not
recommended anymore). The second one consist in using the flag "-f 0",
to force a step of zero amplitude.
