The waste-recycling Monte Carlo (WR) algorithm, introduced by Frenkel, is a modification of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm, which makes use of all the proposals, whereas the standard Metropolis-Hastings algorithm only uses the accepted proposals. We prove the convergence of the WR algorithm and its asymptotic normality. We give an example which shows that in general the WR algorithm is not a...

Recently, the issue of machine condition monitoring and fault diagnosis as a part of maintenance system became global due to the potential advantages to be gained from reduced maintenance costs, improved productivity and increased machine availability. The aim of this work is to investigate the effectiveness of a new fault diagnosis method based on power spectral density (PSD) of vibration sign...

Metropolis is an integrated development environment for system-level design that embodies the concepts of the platform-based design methodology. Metropolis is based on a Metamodel with formal semantics and allows not only design capture, but also formal analysis, synthesis and simulation. After reviewing the basic concepts behind Metropolis, we will describe a realistic use-case scenario that s...

INTRODUCTION Orgasmic dysfunction in women is characterized by persistent or recurrent delay in or absence of orgasm following a normal sexual excitement phase. Research has shown that almost two thirds of women have concerns about their sexual relationship. Sexual dysfunction has many problems for couples; some researchers found that up to 67% of divorces related to sexual disorders. OBJECTI...

This paper presents a method for adaptation in Metropolis-Hastings algorithms. A product of a proposal density and K copies of the target density is used to define a joint density which is sampled by a Gibbs sampler including a Metropolis step. This provides a framework for adaptation since the current value of all K copies of the target distribution can be used in the proposal distribution. Th...
