Sequential Monte Carlo Samplers
In this paper, we propose a methodology to sample sequentially from a sequence of probability distributions known up to a normalizing constant and defined on a common space. These probability distributions are approximated by a cloud of weighted random samples which are propagated over time using Sequential Monte Carlo methods. This methodology allows us to derive simple algorithms to make para...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo Samplers for Rare Events
We present novel sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithms for the simulation of two broad classes of rare events which are suitable for the estimation of tail probabilities and probability density functions in the regions of rare events, as well as the simulation of rare system trajectories. These methods have some connection with previously proposed importance sampling (IS) and interacting part...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo Samplers for Dirichlet Process Mixtures
In this paper, we develop a novel online algorithm based on the Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers framework for posterior inference in Dirichlet Process Mixtures (DPM) (DelMoral et al., 2006). Our method generalizes many sequential importance sampling approaches. It provides a computationally efficient improvement to particle filtering that is less prone to getting stuck in isolated modes. ...
متن کاملError Bounds for Sequential Monte Carlo Samplers for Multimodal Distributions
In this paper, we provide bounds on the asymptotic variance for a class of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) samplers designed for approximating multimodal distributions. Such methods combine standard SMC methods and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) kernels. Our bounds improve upon previous results, and unlike some earlier work, they also apply in the case when the MCMC kernels can move between the m...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo samplers for Bayesian DSGE models
Bayesian estimation of DSGE models typically uses Markov chain Monte Carlo as importance sampling (IS) algorithms have a difficult time in high-dimensional spaces. I develop improved IS algorithms for DSGE models using recent advances in Monte Carlo methods known as sequential Monte Carlo samplers. Sequential Monte Carlo samplers are a generalization of particle filtering designed for full simu...
