I am continuing with my trying all algorithms of Laplaces Demon. It is actually quite a bit more work than I expected but I do find that some of the things get clearer. Now that I am close to the end of calculating this second batch I learned that there is loads of adaptive algorithms. The point of those adaptations is not so much getting the correct posterior distribution, but rather getting enough information so one can set up the other algorithms which can get the desired posterior. For example, in this post DRAM is the adaptive version of DRM which form such a pairing of algorithms.
Given all that it may be that I will redo this same exercise with a different estimation, but that is yet to be decided.

Delayed Rejection Adaptive Metropolis

This is an interesting algorithm. One can see during sampling the algorithm shifts from a faster to a slower sampling approach. The same shift in gears is seen in the plot. Notice that it recommends thinning 90. In fact I had  it to the point of proposing a thinning of 1000. Since the manual also states on using DRAM as final algorithm: ‘DRAM may be used if diminishing adaptation occurs and adaptation ceases effectively’. Given these texts and effects, I tried a different problem, starting with wrong initial values. Indeed, it was able to get close to the true values in all such runs.

Gibbs Sampler

This needs derivatives, hence skipped.

Griddy Gibbs

This takes a grid from which a density is estimated and on which sampling is based. It may be a bit difficult for this grid, since the two parameters have different scales and the same grid is used. With only two parameters it was possible to take a rather high value for the number of grid points. Even so, I am not so happy with the final outcome.
