Examples of Adaptive MCMC

چکیده
We investigate the use of adaptive MCMC algorithms to automatically tune the Markov chain parameters during a run. Examples include the Adaptive Metropolis (AM) multivariate algorithm of Haario et al. (2001), Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithms for non-conjugate hierarchical models, regionally adjusted Metropolis algorithms, and logarithmic scalings. Computer simulations indicate that the algorithms perform very well compared to nonadaptive algorithms, even in high dimension.

A tutorial on adaptive MCMC
We review adaptive Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (MCMC) as a mean to optimise their performance. Using simple toy examples we review their theoretical underpinnings, and in particular show why adaptive MCMC algorithms might fail when some fundamental properties are not satisfied. This leads to guidelines concerning the design of correct algorithms. We then review criteria and the useful f...

متن کاملRecurrent and Ergodic Properties of Adaptive MCMC
We will discuss the recurrence on the state space of the adaptive MCMC algorithm using some examples. We present the ergodicity properties of adaptive MCMC algorithms under the minimal recurrent assumptions, and show the Weak Law of Large Numbers under the same conditions. We will analyze the relationship between the recurrence on the product space of state space and parameter space and the erg...
متن کاملCoupling and Ergodicity of Adaptive MCMC
We consider basic ergodicity properties of adaptive MCMC algorithms under minimal assumptions, using coupling constructions. We prove convergence in distribution and a weak law of large numbers. We also give counter-examples to demonstrate that the assumptions we make are not redundant.
