restart earlier? #4

Description

@qyx268

There was an error during the run time when the disk was full. Therefore, files that should be outputted and would be needed for calculating the likelihood were not created properly, leading the program to crash and eventually MultiNest to crash as well.

I'd like to restart the sampler but this error has lead to some points being written into the output files with a log-evidence being some random number (e.g. 0.60821407-291). It also leads to wrong statistics in the stats and summary files (and potentially the IS files). Could you please help me figure out a way to restart MultiNest from an earlier time or tell me how to delete the parameter sets that have been affected by this error? I could delete those points with random log-evidence, but I'm not sure how to do it with the IS files.

I've posted this on PyMultiNest repo and was informed that I might need to ask MultiNest developers about how to alter resume.dat. Here is one example of the file.
