Marginal MAP estimation using Markov chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are powerful simulation-based techniques for sampling from high-dimensional and/or non-standard probability distributions. These methods have recently become very popular in the statistical and signal processing communities as they allow highly complex inference problems in detection and estimation to be addressed. However, MCMC is not currently well adap...
متن کاملMarginal maximum a posteriori estimation using Markov chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, while facilitating the solution of many complex problems in Bayesian inference, are not currently well adapted to the problem of marginal maximum a posteriori (MMAP) estimation, especially when the number of parameters is large. We present here a simple and novel MCMC strategy, called State-Augmentation for Marginal Estimation (SAME), which leads to MMAP...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo is an umbrella term for algorithms that use Markov chains to sample from a given probability distribution. This paper is a brief examination of Markov chain Monte Carlo and its usage. We begin by discussing Markov chains and the ergodicity, convergence, and reversibility thereof before proceeding to a short overview of Markov chain Monte Carlo and the use of mixing time...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo
This paper gives a brief introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, which offer a general framework for calculating difficult integrals. We start with the basic theory of Markov chains and build up to a theorem that characterizes convergent chains. We then discuss the MetropolisHastings algorithm.
متن کاملMarkov chain Monte Carlo
One of the simplest and most powerful practical uses of the ergodic theory of Markov chains is in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Suppose we wish to simulate from a probability density π (which will be called the target density) but that direct simulation is either impossible or practically infeasible (possibly due to the high dimensionality of π). This generic problem occurs in diverse scient...
