Equilibrium sampling of self-associating polymer solutions: a parallel selective tempering approach.
We present a novel simulation algorithm based on tempering a fraction of relaxation-limiting interactions to accelerate the process of obtaining uncorrelated equilibrium configurations of self-associating polymer solutions. This approach consists of tempering (turning off) the attractive interactions for a fraction of self-associating groups determined by a biasing field h. A number of independ...
متن کاملAnnealing and Tempering for Sampling and Counting
iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my advisors Dana Randall and Eric Vigoda for their guidance and support, which they gave generously. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with two of the leading researchers in my field. Dana never ceased to surprise me with her quick insights and ability to get to crux of a problem. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Eric and am always inspi...
متن کاملLikelihood-free parallel tempering
Approximate Bayesian Computational (ABC) methods, or likelihood-free methods, have appeared in the past fifteen years as useful methods to perform Bayesian analysis when the likelihood is analytically or computationally intractable. Several ABC methods have been proposed: MCMC methods have been developed by Marjoram et al. [2003] and by Bortot et al. [2007] for instance, and sequential methods ...
متن کاملExact Sampling with Simulated Tempering
Multimodal structures in the sampling density (e.g. two competing phases) can be a serious problem for traditional Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), because correct sampling of the different structures can only be guaranteed for infinite sampling time. Samples may not decouple from the initial configuration for a long time and autocorrelation times may be hard to determine. We analyze a suitable...
متن کاملA bound for the convergence rate of parallel tempering for sampling restricted Boltzmann machines
Sampling from restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) is done by Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. The faster the convergence of the Markov chain, the more e ciently can high quality samples be obtained. This is also important for robust training of RBMs, which usually relies on sampling. Parallel tempering (PT), an MCMC method that maintains several replicas of the original chain at higher...
