An adaptive sequential Monte Carlo method for approximate Bayesian computation
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a popular approach to address inference problems where the likelihood function is intractable, or expensive to calculate. To improve over Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) implementations of ABC, the use of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods has recently been suggested. Effective SMC algorithms that are currently available for ABC have a computational c...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo with Adaptive Weights for Approximate Bayesian Computation
Methods of Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) are increasingly used for analysis of complex models. A major challenge for ABC is over-coming the often inherent problem of high rejection rates in the accept/reject methods based on prior:predictive sampling. A number of recent developments aim to address this with extensions based on sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) strategies. We build on this h...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo for Bayesian Computation
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are a class of importance sampling and resampling techniques designed to simulate from a sequence of probability distributions. These approaches have become very popular over the last few years to solve sequential Bayesian inference problems (e.g. Doucet et al. 2001). However, in comparison to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), the application of SMC remains l...
متن کاملGeneralised Gibbs sampler and multigrid Monte Carlo for Bayesian computation
Although Monte Carlo methods have frequently been applied with success, indiscriminate use of Markov chain Monte Carlo leads to unsatisfactory performances in numerous applications. We present a generalised version of the Gibbs sampler that is based on conditional moves along the traces of groups of transformations in the sample space. We explore its connection with the multigrid Monte Carlo me...
متن کاملGeneralized Gibbs Sampler and Multigrid Monte Carlo for Bayesian Computation
Although Monte Carlo methods have been fruitfully applied in many areas of science and statistics, standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) performs poorly in numerous situations when the dimension of the sample space is high. To address this diiculty various methods have been proposed. In this article, we present a generalized version of the Gibbs sampler that allows exible conditional moves d...
