Adaptive Rejection Sampling for Gibbs Sampling

Applied Statistics, 1992
Summary: We propose a method for rejection sampling from any univariate log- concave probability density function. The method is adaptive: as sampling proceeds, the rejection envelope and squeezing function are converge to the density function. The technique is intended for situations where evaluation of the density is computationally expensive, in ...

Variable Selection Via Gibbs Sampling

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1993
Abstract A crucial problem in building a multiple regression model is the selection of predictors to include. The main thrust of this article is to propose and develop a procedure that uses probabilistic considerations for selecting promising subsets.

Capture-Recapture Estimation Via Gibbs Sampling

Biometrika, 1992
Summary: Capture-recapture models are widely used in the estimation of population sizes. Based on data augmentation considerations, we show how Gibbs sampling can be applied to calculate Bayes estimates in this setting. As a result, formulations which were previously avoided because of analytical and numerical intractability can now be easily ...
