Event-Chain Monte-Carlo Simulations of Dense Soft Matter Systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2021
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 ...

Applying diffusion-based Markov chain Monte Carlo. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
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.

Towards derandomising Markov chain Monte Carlo

open access: yes2023 IEEE 64th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS), 2023
We present a new framework to derandomise certain Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms. As in MCMC, we first reduce counting problems to sampling from a sequence of marginal distributions. For the latter task, we introduce a method called coupling towards the past that can, in logarithmic time, evaluate one or a constant number of variables from ...

Multilevel Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Review, 2019
The authors are interested in uncertainty quantification in porous media flow with high-dimensional parameter spaces. This problem is often solved by Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, which have a prohibitively large computational cost. First, the authors propose a new multilevel Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and establish a complexity theorem that ...

A Markov chain Monte Carlo method family in incomplete data analysis [PDF]

open access: yesEkonomski Anali, 2003
A Markov chain Monte Carlo method family is a collection of techniques for pseudorandom draws out of probability distribution function. In recent years, these techniques have been the subject of intensive interest of many statisticians. Roughly speaking,

Parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo - bridging the gap to high-performance Bayesian computation in animal breeding and genetics

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2012
Background Most Bayesian models for the analysis of complex traits are not analytically tractable and inferences are based on computationally intensive techniques.

Information-Geometric Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods Using Diffusions

open access: yesEntropy, 2014
Recent work incorporating geometric ideas in Markov chain Monte Carlo is reviewed in order to highlight these advances and their possible application in a range of domains beyond statistics. A full exposition of Markov chains and their use in Monte Carlo
