[ New to Matlab - Not sure how to run these files ]

The files I would like to run are found here:

http://www.mathworks.co.uk/matlabcentral/fileexchange/12552-multicanonical-monte-carlo-scheme-for-finding-rare-growth-factors/content/mcmc2.m

it consists of 3 files, one of which is called a driver.

I have tried running each individual one in Matlab and each one gets an error, I think this is because I need to run them all simultaneously or something?

At the beginning of the driver script it says "This is the driver script to be run from the command line. Also requires functions mcmc1 and mcmc2". Where mcmc1 and mcmc2 are the other two files I tried running it in command line but I kept getting error messages..

Any idea how I get these files to run?

You should just be able to run gf_mmc_driver from the command line in Matlab. The mcmc1.m and mcmc2.m files need to be in your matlab path, but do not need to be called directly.

However, I do notice in the driver file the following comment:

% Telling the Distributed Computing Toolbox to complete one job with 
% 'numberchain' tasks.  Each task is comprised of running a MCMC 
% for the burnin time (mcmc1.m) with a different initial matrix.

Do you have the Distributed Computing Toolbox? The driver file appears to require it.
