Metropolized independent sampling with comparisons to rejection sampling and importance sampling
Although Markov chain Monte Carlo methods have been widely used in many disciplines, exact eigen analysis for such generated chains has been rare. In this paper, a special MetropolisHastings algorithm, Metropolized independent sampling, proposed first in Hastings (1970), is studied in full detail. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the corresponding Markov chain, as well as a sharp bound for t...
متن کاملFast Communication Conditional Path Sampling of Sdes and the Langevin Mcmc Method
We introduce a stochastic PDE based approach to sampling paths of SDEs, conditional on observations. The SPDEs are derived by generalising the Langevin MCMC method to infinite dimensions. Various applications are described, including sampling paths subject to two end-point conditions (bridges) and nonlinear filter/smoothers.
متن کاملGuided tree topology proposals for Bayesian phylogenetic inference.
Increasingly, large data sets pose a challenge for computationally intensive phylogenetic methods such as Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Here, we investigate the performance of common MCMC proposal distributions in terms of median and variance of run time to convergence on 11 data sets. We introduce two new Metropolized Gibbs Samplers for moving through "tree space." MCMC simulation ...
متن کاملComputational Methods for Complex Stochastic Systems: Alternatives to MCMC
We consider analysis of complex stochastic models based upon partial information. MCMC and reversible jump MCMC are often the methods of choice for such problems, but in some situations they can be difficult to implement; and suffer from problems such as poor mixing, and the difficulty of diagnosing convergence. Here we review various alternatives to MCMC methods: importance sampling, the forwa...
متن کاملFast MCMC sampling for Markov jump processes and extensions
Markov jump processes (or continuous-time Markov chains) are a simple and important class of continuous-time dynamical systems. In this paper, we tackle the problem of simulating from the posterior distribution over paths in these models, given partial and noisy observations. Our approach is an auxiliary variable Gibbs sampler, and is based on the idea of uniformization. This sets up a Markov c...
