چکیده

• We have evaluated the performance of these diagnoses in three scenario created in R 3.1.0:  Scenario 1: Insufficient burn-in + large sample size for outcome evaluation (20,000)  Scenario 2: Insufficient burn-in + high auto-correlation in the Markov Chain (0.8)  Scenario 3: Insufficient burn-in + correlated outcomes Laliman V1, Roïz J2 1Ensai student, Bruz, France; 2Creativ-Ceutical, London, United-Kingdom

Convergence Assessment for Reversible Jump MCMC Simulations

In this paper we introduce the problem of assessing convergence of reversible jump MCMC algorithms on the basis of simulation output. We discuss the various direct approaches which could be employed, together with their associated drawbacks. Using the example of fitting a graphical Gaussian model via RJMCMC, we show how the simulation output for models which can be parameterised so that paramet...

Comparisons of Markov Chain Monte Carlo Convergence Diagnostic Tests for Bayesian Logistic Random Effect Models

In mixed models, posterior densities are too difficult to work with directly. With the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods, to do statistical inference requires the convergence of the MCMC chain to its stationary distribution. To assess convergence of Markov chain has not a specific way. Assessing convergence of Markov chain has been developed many techniques. Although increasingly populari...

Of Bugs and Birds: Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Hierarchical Modeling in Wildlife Research

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a statistical innovation methodology that allows researchers to fit far more complex models to data than is feasible using conventional methods. Despite its widespread use in a variety of scientific fields, MCMC appears to be underutilized in wildlife applications. This may be due to a misconception that MCMC requires the adoption of a subjective Bayesian anal...

Visualizations for Assessing Convergence and Mixing of MCMC

Bayesian inference often requires approximating the posterior distribution with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. A central problem with MCMC is how to detect whether the simulation has converged. The samples come from the true posterior distribution only after convergence. A common solution is to start several simulations from different starting points, and measure overlap of the diffe...
