Tempered Langevin diffusions and algorithms
We consider a class of Langevin diffusions with state-dependent volatility. The volatility of the diffusion is chosen so as to make the stationary distribution of the diffusion with respect to its natural clock, a heated version of the stationary density of interest. The motivation behind this construction is the desire to construct uniformly ergodic diffusions with required stationary densitie...
متن کاملAn adaptive version for the Metropolis adjusted Langevin algorithm with a truncated drift
(First draft March 2005; revised November 2005) Abstract This paper extends some adaptive schemes that have been developed for the Random Walk Metropolis algorithm to more general versions of the Metropolis-Hastings (MH) algorithm, particularly to the Metropolis Adjusted Langevin algorithm of Roberts and Tweedie (1996). Our simulations show that the adaptation drastically improves the performan...
متن کاملLangevin diffusions on the torus: estimation and applications
We introduce stochastic models for continuous-time evolution of angles and develop their estimation. We focus on studying Langevin diffusions with stationary distributions equal to wellknown distributions from directional statistics, since such diffusions can be regarded as toroidal analogues of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Their likelihood function is a product of transition densities with ...
متن کاملOptimal scaling of discrete approximations to Langevin diffusions
We consider the optimal scaling problem for proposal distributions in Hastings-Metropolis algorithms derived from Langevin diffusions. We prove an asymptotic diffusion limit theorem and show that the relative efficiency of the algorithm can be characterised by its overall acceptance rate, independently of the target distribution. The asymptotically optimal acceptance rate is 0.574. We show that...
متن کاملThe Langevin Limit of the Nosé-Hoover-Langevin Thermostat
In this note we study the asymptotic limit of large variance in a stochastically perturbed thermostat model, the Nosé-Hoover-Langevin device. We show that in this limit, the model reduces to a Langevin equation with one-dimensional Wiener process, and that the perturbation is in the direction of the conjugate momentum vector. Numerical experiments with a double well potential corroborate the as...
