Optimal Proposal Distributions and Adaptive MCMC
We review recent work concerning optimal proposal scalings for Metropolis-Hastings MCMC algorithms, and adaptive MCMC algorithms for trying to improve the algorithm on the fly.
متن کاملUsing Weighted Distributions for Modeling Skewed, Multimodal and Truncated Data
When the observations reflect a multimodal, asymmetric or truncated construction or a combination of them, using usual unimodal and symmetric distributions leads to misleading results. Therefore, distributions with ability of modeling skewness, multimodality and truncation have been in the core of interest in statistical literature, always. There are different methods to contract ...
متن کاملMCMC for Doubly-intractable Distributions
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are routinely used to draw samples from distributions with intractable normalization constants. However, standard MCMC algorithms do not apply to doublyintractable distributions in which there are additional parameter-dependent normalization terms; for example, the posterior over parameters of an undirected graphical model. An ingenious auxiliary-varia...

متن کاملBayesian Optimization for Adaptive MCMC
This paper proposes a new randomized strategy for adaptive MCMC using Bayesian optimization. This approach applies to non-differentiable objective functions and trades off exploration and exploitation to reduce the number of potentially costly objective function evaluations. We demonstrate the strategy in the complex setting of sampling from constrained, discrete and densely connected probabili...
