Hi Michael,

Actually I was wrong in the initial mail. rbprobitGibbs uses the Gibbs Sampler. I think the rhierbinLogit does the Logit model which uses a Metropolis hastings approach uses the acceptance rate and the function outputs the rejection rate in the output list. So you are not required to change the source code.

completing posterior draws?

The immediate application is in the probit.bayes and logit.bayes  
models used by Zelig... which I believe is merely calling MCMCpack.  
So one strategy, to which I am fixing to resort, is to call, say,  
MCMClogit with verbose set to mcmc (or mcmc divided by an integer)   
and then look at my screen. But it seems odd that this datum is not  
being put into output objects, so I wonder if I'm missing something.

Plus sometimes I can save the output object, but then the power goes  
out and what's on screen is gone forever.

Thanks,
Michael
