The random walk Metropolis: linking theory and practice through a case study
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 to...
متن کاملA Stochastic algorithm to solve multiple dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind
In the present work, a new stochastic algorithm is proposed to solve multiple dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The solution of the integral equation is described by the Neumann series expansion. Each term of this expansion can be considered as an expectation which is approximated by a continuous Markov chain Monte Carlo method. An algorithm is proposed to sim...

متن کاملSelf Regenerative Markov Chain Monte Carlo with Adaptation
This article proposes a new method of construction of Markov chains with a given stationary distribution. The method is based on constructing an auxiliary chain with some other stationary distribution and picking elements of this auxiliary chain a suitable number of times. The proposed method is easy to implement and analyze; it could be more efficient than some related MCMC techniques. The mai...
