Stochastic Bouncy Particle Sampler
We introduce a stochastic version of the nonreversible, rejection-free Bouncy Particle Sampler (BPS), a Markov process whose sample trajectories are piecewise linear, to efficiently sample Bayesian posteriors in big datasets. We prove that in the BPS no bias is introduced by noisy evaluations of the log-likelihood gradient. On the other hand, we argue that efficiency considerations favor a smal...
متن کاملStochastic Gradient Monomial Gamma Sampler
Recent advances in stochastic gradient techniques have made it possible to estimate posterior distributions from large datasets via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). However, when the target posterior is multimodal, mixing performance is often poor. This results in inadequate exploration of the posterior distribution. A framework is proposed to improve the sampling efficiency of stochastic gradi...
متن کاملStochastic Newton Sampler: The R Package sns
The R package sns implements Stochastic Newton Sampler (SNS), a Metropolis-Hastings Monte Carlo Markov Chain algorithm where the proposal density function is a multivariate Gaussian based on a local, second-order Taylor-series expansion of log-density. The mean of the proposal function is the full Newton step in Newton-Raphson optimization algorithm. Taking advantage of the local, multivariate ...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Population Importance Sampler: Learning from Errors
Monte Carlo (MC) methods are well-known computational techniques in different fields as signal processing, communications, and machine learning. An important class of MC methods is composed of importance sampling (IS) and its adaptive extensions, e.g., Adaptive Multiple IS (AMIS) and Population Monte Carlo (PMC). In this work, we introduce an adaptive and iterated importance sampler using a pop...
متن کاملRapid Mixing Swendsen-Wang Sampler for Stochastic Partitioned Attractive Models
The Gibbs sampler is a particularly popular Markov chain used for learning and inference problems in Graphical Models (GMs). These tasks are computationally intractable in general, and the Gibbs sampler often suffers from slow mixing. In this paper, we study the SwendsenWang dynamics which is a more sophisticated Markov chain designed to overcome bottlenecks that impede the Gibbs sampler. We pr...
