Yes, your function out<- epiann(f = function(a,b) log(dnorm(a)*dnorm(b))),
N = 10) works well.

But why you are changing the loglikelihood function to f = function(a,b)
log(dnorm(a)*dnorm(b))? how it is equivalent to loglikelihood? is there any
mathematical relation?  I also want to see the plot of aout and bout versus
loglikelihood, and see the cooling rate in different temperature. how is
this possible?
