چکیده
The random walk Metropolis: linking theory and practice through a case study. Summary: The random walk Metropolis (RWM) is one of the most common Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms in practical use today. Its theoretical properties have been extensively explored for certain classes of target, and a number of results with important practical implications have been derived. This article draws together a selection of new and existing key results and concepts and describes their implications. The impact of each new idea on algorithm efficiency is demonstrated for the practical example of the Markov modulated Pois-son process (MMPP). A reparameterisation of the MMPP which leads to a highly efficient RWM within Gibbs algorithm in certain circumstances is also developed.

A PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...

Workplace deviance is indeed an issue for any organization. Many researchers have endeavored to explore different predictors to control this problem. However, managerial coaching can be seen as a leading managerial practice to address this issue within the organizations. Using the LMX theory, a model was developed to explore the direct relationship between managerial coaching and workplace devi...

Aims & Backgrounds: Lack of readings of concepts such as power has caused irreparable damages to the body of cities. In Iran, due to the domination of traditional viewpoint of planning, this concept has not paid much attention. An urban power exercising environment, deviating from the expected process, in addition to cause the domination of the powerful people on urban topics, has marginalized ...
متن کاملDecentralized Random Walk-Based Data Collection in Networks
We analyze a decentralized random-walk based algorithm for data collection at the sink in a multi-hop sensor network. Our algorithm, Metropolis-Collect, which involves data packets being passed to random neighbors in the network according to a simple metropolis randomwalk mechanism, requires no configuration and incurs no routing overhead. To analyze this method, we model the data generation pr...
