Multilevel Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
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 ...

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.

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

Towards derandomising Markov chain Monte Carlo
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 ...

Coreset Markov Chain Monte Carlo
A Bayesian coreset is a small, weighted subset of data that replaces the full dataset during inference in order to reduce computational cost. However, state of the art methods for tuning coreset weights are expensive, require nontrivial user input, and impose constraints on the model.

Putting Markov Chains Back into Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
Markov chain theory plays an important role in statistical inference both in the formulation of models for data and in the construction of efficient algorithms for inference. The use of Markov chains in modeling data has a long history, however the use of Markov chain theory in developing algorithms for statistical inference has only become popular ...

Information-Geometric Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods Using Diffusions
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
