It is known that in a system based on Monte Carlo sampling, the results depend on the initial random seed. To my understanding, the RBeast package has this characteristic. However, the results are varying significantly, even when increasing the number of samples to 32,000, for example. I would greatly appreciate your help in finding a way to adjust the parameters so that the results converge. I am running the program on a computer with an i7 processor, 8GB of memory, and the Linux Ubuntu 22.04 operating system, using Python or Matlab environments. I am applying RBeast to remove the seasonality from weekly time series. This series has 978 observations, and I used the following parameters: beast(series, start=2005.01644, deltat=1/52, period=1, mcmc_samples=32000). Thank you for your attention

Thank you for the prompt response. Here is the link to the data https://drive.google.com/file/d/12PGyJwWV6zNSzb_nWOmVEOC0Jy6aR_0N/view?usp=sharing
This dataset features time series observations of the marginal operation cost for one of the subsystems in the Brazilian electricity market, with data organized on a weekly basis. In the CSV file, the first column represents the dates in the "%Y-%m-%d" format, and the second column represents the values. I performed a logarithmic transformation on the data, after adding a constant, due to the presence of null values in the dataset. I haven't explored the other parameters of the Markov chain yet but intend to conduct some tests.

Hi Kaiguang,

The zeros within the time series are true values; there are no missing values in this series.
