 following two ways.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Generate 1000 draws after convergence and save all of them.</p></li>
<li><p>Generate 10,000 draws after convergence and save every tenth draw.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Even though both produce a sample consisting one thousand draws, the
second approach with thinning can produce a higher effective sample
size. That’s because the autocorrelation <span class="math inline">\(\rho_t\)</span> for the thinned
sequence is equivalent to <span class="math inline">\(\rho_{10t}\)</span>
