Estimating Ratios of Normalizing Constants for Densities with Diierent Dimensions Normalizing Constants with Diierent Dimensions
In Bayesian inference, a Bayes factor is deened as the ratio of posterior odds versus prior odds where posterior odds is simply a ratio of the normalizing constants of two posterior densities. In many practical problems, the two posteriors have diierent dimensions. For such cases, the current Monte Carlo methods such as the bridge sampling method (Meng and Wong 1996), the path sampling method (...
متن کاملSuccessive Bayesian estimation of reaction rate constants from spectral data
The successive estimation of regression parameters is an effective technique applied in nonlinear regression analysis. In the paper, this method is used for obtaining kinetic information from spectral data without any pure component spectra. In order to study the way kinetics may be determined by ‘hard’ model without separate calibration, the simulated example of a two-step reaction was constru...
متن کاملRelative dielectric constants and selectivity ratios in open ionic channels
We investigate the effects of the relative dielectric coefficient on ionic flows in open ion channels, using mathematical analysis of reasonably general Poisson-Nernst-Planck type models that can include the finite sizes of ions. The value of the relative dielectric coefficient is of course a crucial parameter for ionic behavior in general. Using the powerful theory of singularly perturbed prob...
متن کاملEstimating Ratios of Normalizing Constants Using Linked Importance Sampling
Abstract. Ratios of normalizing constants for two distributions are needed in both Bayesian statistics, where they are used to compare models, and in statistical physics, where they correspond to differences in free energy. Two approaches have long been used to estimate ratios of normalizing constants. The ‘simple importance sampling’ (SIS) or ‘free energy perturbation’ method uses a sample dra...
متن کاملNew Limits on the Possible Variation of Physical Constants
Recent detections of high-redshift absorption by both atomic hydrogen and molecular gas in the radio spectra of quasars have provided a powerful tool to measure possible temporal and spatial variations of physical ‘constants’ in the Universe. We have compared the frequency of high-redshift Hydrogen 21 cm absorption with that of associated molecular absorption in two quasars to place new (1 sigm...
