Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are well-known Monte Carlo methodologies, widely used in different fields for statistical inference and stochastic optimization. The Multiple Try Metropolis (MTM) algorithm is an extension of the standard Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm in which the next state of the chain is chosen among a set of candidates, according to certain weights. The Particle ...

The Monte Carlo EM (MCEM) algorithm is a modification of the EM algorithm where the expectation in the E-step is computed numerically through Monte Carlo simulations. The most flexible and generally applicable approach to obtaining a Monte Carlo sample in each iteration of an MCEM algorithm is through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) routines such as the Gibbs and Metropolis–Hastings samplers. A...

In this scribe, we are going to review the Parallel Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) method. First, we will recap of MCMC methods, particularly the Metropolis-Hasting and Gibbs Sampling algorithms. Then we will show the drawbacks of these classical MCMC methods as well as the Naive Parallel Gibbs Sampling approach. Finally, we will come up with the Sequential Monte Carlo and Parallel Inference f...

One of the main shortcomings of Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers is their inability to mix between modes of the target distribution. In this paper we show that advance knowledge of the location of these modes can be incorporated into the MCMC sampler by introducing mode-hopping moves that satisfy detailed balance. The proposed sampling algorithm explores local mode structure through local MCMC...

Realistic statistical models often give rise to probability distributions that are computationally difficult to use for inference. Fortunately, we now have a collection of algorithms, known as Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), that has brought many of these models within our computational reach. In turn, this has lead to a staggering amount of both theoretical and applied work on MCMC. Thus we d...

This note is concerned with Bayesian estimation of the transition probabilities of a binary Markov chain observed from heterogeneous individuals. The model is founded on Jeffreys’ prior which allows for transition probabilities to be correlated. The Bayesian estimator is approximated by means of Monte Carlo Markov chain (MCMC) techniques. The performance of the Bayesian estimates is illustrated...

We prove an upper bound on the convergence rate of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms for the important special case when the state space can be aggregated into a smaller space, such that the aggregated chain approximately preserves the Markov property.

The goal of a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation is to generate samples from a target probability distribution π by simulating a Markov chain whose stationary distribution is π. However, often this ideal is not achieved, and the practitioner actually samples from an approximate distribution π̃ that is close to π in variation distance. These circumstances have spawned an array of literatu...

We present a new estimate of foreground emission in the WMAP data, using a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method. The new technique delivers maps of each foreground component for a variety of foreground models with estimates

Markov chain Monte Carlo methods (MCMC) are essential tools for solving many modern-day statistical and computational problems; however, a major limitation is the inherently sequential nature of these algorithms. In this paper, we propose a natural generalization of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm that allows for parallelizing a single chain using existing MCMC methods. We do so by proposing ...
