Warp Bridge Sampling
Bridge sampling, a general formulation of the acceptance ratio method in physics for computing free-energy difference, is an effective Monte Carlo method for computing normalizingconstantsof probabilitymodels.The methodwas originallyproposedfor cases where the probabilitymodels have overlappingsupport. Voter proposed the idea of shifting physical systems before applying the acceptance ratio met...
متن کاملEfficient sampling of Gaussian graphical models using conditional Bayes factors
Bayesian estimation of Gaussian graphical models has proven to be challenging because the conjugate prior distribution on the Gaussian precision matrix, the G-Wishart distribution, has a doubly intractable partition function. Recent developments provide a direct way to sample from the G-Wishart distribution, which allows for more efficient algorithms for model selection than previously possible...
متن کاملComputing Bayes factors using thermodynamic integration.
In the Bayesian paradigm, a common method for comparing two models is to compute the Bayes factor, defined as the ratio of their respective marginal likelihoods. In recent phylogenetic works, the numerical evaluation of marginal likelihoods has often been performed using the harmonic mean estimation procedure. In the present article, we propose to employ another method, based on an analogy with...
متن کاملMCMC Methods for Computing Bayes Factors A
The problem of calculating posterior probabilities for a collection of competing models and associated Bayes factors continues to be a formidable challenge for applied Bayesian statisticians. Current approaches that take a d v antage of modern Markov c hain Monte Carlo (MCMC) computing methods include those that attempt to sample over some form of the joint space created by the model indicators...
متن کاملEasy Computatioll of Bayes Factors arid Normalizing Constants for Mixture Models via Mixture Importance Sampling
vVe propose a method for approximating integrated likelihoods, or posterior normalizing constants, in finite mixture models, for which analytic approximations such as the Laplace method are invalid. Integrated likelihoods are key components of Bayes factors and of the posterior model probabilities used in Bayesian model averaging. The method starts by formulating the model in terms of the unobs...
