Monte Carlo Integration in Bayesian Statistical Analysis
A review of Monte Carlo methods for approximating the high-dimensional integrals that arise in Bayesian statistical analysis. Emphasis is on the features of many Bayesian applications which make Monte Carlo methods especially appropriate, and on Monte Carlo variance-reduction techniques especially well suited to Bayesian applications. A generalized logistic regression example is used to illustr...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Integration in Bayesian Estimation
Prologue The goal of this tutorial presentation is to focus on the pervasiveness of Monte-Carlo integration and importance sampling in Bayesian estimation, in general, and in particle filtering, in particular. This tutorial is a continuation of my tutorial: " ML, MAP, and Bayesian — The Holy Trinity of Parameter Estimation and Data Prediction " that can be downloaded from:
متن کاملQuasi Monte Carlo Integration in Grid Environments: Further Leaping Effects
The splitting of Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) point sequences into interleaved substreams has been suggested to raise the speed of distributed numerical integration and to lower the traffic on the network. The usefulness of this approach in GRID environments is discussed. After specifying requirements for using QMC techniques in GRID environments in general we review and evaluate the proposals made ...
متن کاملBayesian Optimization Using Sequential Monte Carlo
We consider the problem of optimizing a real-valued continuous function f using a Bayesian approach, where the evaluations of f are chosen sequentially by combining prior information about f , which is described by a random process model, and past evaluation results. The main difficulty with this approach is to be able to compute the posterior distributions of quantities of interest which are u...
متن کاملBayesian Monte Carlo
We investigate Bayesian alternatives to classical Monte Carlo methods for evaluating integrals. Bayesian Monte Carlo (BMC) allows the incorporation of prior knowledge, such as smoothness of the integrand, into the estimation. In a simple problem we show that this outperforms any classical importance sampling method. We also attempt more challenging multidimensional integrals involved in computi...
