HYDRA: a Java library for Markov Chain Monte Carlo

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2002
Hydra is an open-source, platform-neutral library for performing Markov Chain Monte Carlo. It implements the logic of standard MCMC samplers within a framework designed to be easy to use, extend, and integrate with other software tools. In this paper, we

Block-Wisely Supervised Network Pruning with Knowledge Distillation and Markov Chain Monte Carlo

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Structural network pruning is an effective way to reduce network size for deploying deep networks to resource-constrained devices. Existing methods mainly employ knowledge distillation from the last layer of network to guide pruning of the whole network,

Multimodal nested sampling: an efficient and robust alternative to Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods for astronomical data analyses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In performing a Bayesian analysis of astronomical data, two difficult problems often emerge. First, in estimating the parameters of some model for the data, the resulting posterior distribution may be multimodal or exhibit pronounced (curving ...

An efficient interpolation technique for jump proposals in reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo calculations [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2015
Selection among alternative theoretical models given an observed dataset is an important challenge in many areas of physics and astronomy. Reversible-jump Markov chain Monte Carlo (RJMCMC) is an extremely powerful technique for performing Bayesian model ...

Application of Markov chain Monte carlo method in Bayesian statistics

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
In statistical inference methods, bayesian method is a method of great influence. This paper introduces the basic idea of the bayesian method. However, the widespread popularity of MCMC samplers is largely due to their impact on solving statistical ...

Hump‐Shaped Relationship Between Microbial Carbon Use‐Efficiency and Soil Organic Carbon in Alpine Grasslands

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
On the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau, microbial carbon use efficiency (CUE) peaks at intermediate soil organic carbon levels and declines thereafter. In carbon‐rich soils, the formation of stable mineral‐associated organic carbon is decoupled from microbial CUE.

Markov Chain Investigation of Discretization Schemes and Computational Cost Reduction in Modeling Photon Multiple Scattering

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Establishing fast and reversible photon multiple scattering algorithms remains a modeling challenge for optical diagnostics and noise reduction purposes, especially when the scattering happens within the intermediate scattering regime.

Challenges in Markov Chain Monte Carlo for Bayesian Neural Networks [PDF]

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2019
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have not been broadly adopted in Bayesian neural networks (BNNs). This paper initially reviews the main challenges in sampling from the parameter posterior of a neural network via MCMC. Such challenges culminate to
