I'm just saying it takes about 30 seconds to explain the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in plain english, and the wikipedia article is almost intentionally esoteric on the matter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis–Hastings_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolis–Hastings_algorithm Meanwhile the much more complex Firefly algorithm is adequately explained in just 3 sentences that are obvious to understand: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefly_algorithm
