A few Remarks on ”Fixed-Width Output Analysis for Markov Chain Monte Carlo” by Jones et al
The aim of this note is to relax assumptions and simplify proofs in results given by Jones et al. in the recent paper ”Fixed-Width Output Analysis for Markov Chain Monte Carlo.”
متن کاملMultivariate Output Analysis for Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) produces a correlated sample in order to estimate expectations with respect to a target distribution. A fundamental question is when should sampling stop so that we have good estimates of the desired quantities? The key to answering this question lies in assessing the Monte Carlo error through a multivariate Markov chain central limit theorem. However, the multiv...
متن کاملRelative Fixed-width Stopping Rules for Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulations
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations are commonly employed for estimating features of a target distribution, particularly for Bayesian inference. A fundamental challenge is determining when these simulations should stop. We consider a sequential stopping rule that terminates the simulation when the width of a confidence interval is sufficiently small relative to the size of the target pa...
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.
