A quantum parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo. [PDF]
We propose a novel hybrid quantum computing strategy for parallel MCMC algorithms that generate multiple proposals at each step. This strategy makes the rate-limiting step within parallel MCMC amenable to quantum parallelization by using the Gumbel-max trick to turn the generalized accept-reject step into a discrete optimization problem.

Applying diffusion-based Markov chain Monte Carlo. [PDF]
We examine the performance of a strategy for Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) developed by simulating a discrete approximation to a stochastic differential equation (SDE). We refer to the approach as diffusion MCMC.

Posterior-based proposals for speeding up Markov chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is widely used for Bayesian inference in models of complex systems. Performance, however, is often unsatisfactory in models with many latent variables due to so-called poor mixing, necessitating the development of ...

Introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulations and their Statistical Analysis [PDF]
This article is a tutorial on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations and their statistical analysis. The theoretical concepts are illustrated through many numerical assignments from the author's book on the subject. Computer code (in Fortran) is available for all subjects covered and can be downloaded from the web.

Comparison between pystan and numpyro in Bayesian item response theory: evaluation of agreement of estimated latent parameters and sampling performance [PDF]
Purpose The purpose of this study is to compare two libraries dedicated to the Markov chain Monte Carlo method: pystan and numpyro. In the comparison, we mainly focused on the agreement of estimated latent parameters and the performance of sampling using

Parameter Estimation in Population Balance through Bayesian Technique Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
In this work, the Markov Chain Monte Carlo is applied to estimate parameters that represent mechanisms that describe particles' dynamics in particulate systems from the literature's proposed models.

Antithetic Magnetic and Shadow Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is a Markov Chain Monte Carlo method that has been widely applied to numerous posterior inference problems within the machine learning literature. Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimators have higher variance than classical Monte Carlo

Event-Chain Monte-Carlo Simulations of Dense Soft Matter Systems
We discuss the rejection-free event-chain Monte-Carlo algorithm and several applications to dense soft matter systems. Event-chain Monte-Carlo is an alternative to standard local Markov-chain Monte-Carlo schemes, which are based on detailed balance, for ...
