Markov chains are among the simplest stochastic processes, just one step beyond iid sequences of random variables. Traditionally they’ve been used in modelling a variety of physical phenomena, but recently interest has grown enormously due to their applicability in facilitating Bayesian computation. These lecture notes and lectures are intended to introduce the elements of markov chain theory, ...

Markov Chain Monte Carlo constructs a Markov Chain (Xt) on Ω that converges to π, ie Pr[Xt = y|X0 = x]→ π(y) as t→∞, independent of x. Then we get a sampling algorithm by simulating the Markov chain, starting in an arbitrary state X0, for sufficiently many steps and outputting the final state Xt. It is usually not hard to set up a Markov chain that converges to the desired stationary distributi...
متن کاملLecture 2: September 8 2.1 Markov Chains
We begin by reviewing the basic goal in the Markov Chain Monte Carlo paradigm. Assume a finite state space Ω and a weight function w : Ω → <. Our goal is to design a sampling process which samples every element x ∈ Ω with the probability w(x) Z where Z = ∑ x∈Ω w(x) is the normalization factor. Often times, we don’t know the normalization factor Z apriori, and in some problems, the real goal is ...
