The chain will contains only the acceptable (ie, physical) points, all
with weight 1 (as in this case there is no probabilistic significance
to the points). The only relevant quantitity is the log like, as you
say.
I'm not sure what you mean precisely by "standard output" - is this
after you processed the chains using getplots? For chains produced
with grid scan I would advice not to use getplots at all, as the
posterior plot would be meaningless. The average like might me more of
a useful quantity to look at, but again would have no statistical
significance. Better to either plot the points in relevant 2D planes
by hand from the chains directly, or simply select the highest
likelihood along the hidden dimensions - this is somewhat analogous to
profile likelihoods. I'm not sure your procedue can be easily
interpreted statistically. It all depends what are you trying to
deduce from the scan...
Hope this helps, let me know if you have further questions.
