چکیده
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 and semigroup techniques to analyze the fluctuations of their occupation measures around their limiting values.

Fluctuations of Interacting Markov Chain Monte Carlo Models
We present a functional central limit theorem for a general class of interacting Markov chain Monte Carlo interpretations of discrete generation measure-valued equations. The path space models associated with these stochastic processes belong to the class of nonlinear Markov chains interacting with their empirical occupation measures. We develop an original theoretical analysis based on resolve...
متن کاملA Functional Central Limit Theorem for a Class of Interacting Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods
We present a functional central limit theorem for a new class of interacting Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms. These stochastic algorithms have been recently introduced to solve non-linear measure-valued equations. We provide an original theoretical analysis based on semigroup techniques on distribution spaces and fluctuation theorems for self-interacting random fields. Additionally we also ...
متن کاملSequentially 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 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...
