Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo is an umbrella term for algorithms that use Markov chains to sample from a given probability distribution. This paper is a brief examination of Markov chain Monte Carlo and its usage. We begin by discussing Markov chains and the ergodicity, convergence, and reversibility thereof before proceeding to a short overview of Markov chain Monte Carlo and the use of mixing time...
متن کاملMarkov Chain Monte Carlo
This paper gives a brief introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods, which offer a general framework for calculating difficult integrals. We start with the basic theory of Markov chains and build up to a theorem that characterizes convergent chains. We then discuss the MetropolisHastings algorithm.

One of the simplest and most powerful practical uses of the ergodic theory of Markov chains is in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). Suppose we wish to simulate from a probability density π (which will be called the target density) but that direct simulation is either impossible or practically infeasible (possibly due to the high dimensionality of π). This generic problem occurs in diverse scient...
متن کاملStream 1 Consistency of Markov chain quasi - Monte Carlo on continuous state spaces
Multivariate problems occur in many applications. They are defined on spaces of functions of d variables and d is often huge. Many of such multivariate problems suffer from the curse of dimensionality. This means that the minimal number of functions values needed to compute by algorithms with error at most ε is an exponential function of d. In this talk we discuss how the curse of dimensionalit...

The random numbers driving Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation are usually modeled as independent U(0, 1) random variables. Tribble [24] reports substantial improvements when those random numbers are replaced by carefully balanced inputs from completely uniformly distributed sequences. The previous theoretical justification for using anything other than IID U(0, 1) points shows consisten...
