Sequentially Interacting Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
We introduce a novel methodology for sampling from a sequence of probability distributions of increasing dimension and estimating their normalizing constants. These problems are usually addressed using Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods. The alternative Sequentially Interacting Markov Chain Monte Carlo (SIMCMC) scheme proposed here works by generating interacting non-Markovian sequences which...
متن کاملFluctuations of Interacting Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
We present a multivariate central limit theorem for a general class of interacting Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms used to solve nonlinear measure-valued equations. These algorithms generate stochastic processes which belong to the class of nonlinear Markov chains interacting with their empirical occupation measures. We develop an original theoretical analysis based on resolvent operators a...
متن کاملInteracting Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo
We introduce interacting particle Markov chain Monte Carlo (iPMCMC), a PMCMC method based on an interacting pool of standard and conditional sequential Monte Carlo samplers. Like related methods, iPMCMC is a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler on an extended space. We present empirical results that show significant improvements in mixing rates relative to both noninteracting PMCMC samplers and a s...
متن کاملMarkov chain Monte Carlo methods in biostatistics.
Appropriate models in biostatistics are often quite complicated. Such models are typically most easily fit using Bayesian methods, which can often be implemented using simulation techniques. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are an important set of tools for such simulations. We give an overview and references of this rapidly emerging technology along with a relatively simple example. MCM...
متن کاملParticle Markov chain Monte Carlo methods
Markov chain Monte Carlo and sequential Monte Carlo methods have emerged as the two main tools to sample from high dimensional probability distributions.Although asymptotic convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms is ensured under weak assumptions, the performance of these algorithms is unreliable when the proposal distributions that are used to explore the space are poorly chosen and...
