Multilevel Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
In this paper we address the problem of the prohibitively large computational cost of existing Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for large-scale applications with high-dimensional parameter spaces, ...

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

A Short Review of Ergodicity and Convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo Estimators [PDF]
This short note reviews the basic theory for quantifying both the asymptotic and preasymptotic convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo estimators.

Abstract The treatment scenario for newly‐diagnosed transplant‐ineligible multiple myeloma patients (NEMM) is quickly evolving. Currently, combinations of proteasome inhibitors and/or immunomodulatory drugs +/− the monoclonal antibody Daratumumab are used for first‐line treatment, even if head‐to‐head comparisons are lacking.

Abstract Developing population models for assessing risks to terrestrial plant species listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is challenging given a paucity of data on their life histories. The purpose of this study was to develop a novel approach for identifying relatively data‐rich nonlisted species that could serve

Discrepancy estimates for variance bounding Markov chain quasi-Monte Carlo [PDF]
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations are modeled as driven by true random numbers. We consider variance bounding Markov chains driven by a deterministic sequence of numbers. The star-discrepancy provides a measure of efficiency of such Markov chain quasi-Monte Carlo methods.

Application of Markov chain Monte carlo method in Bayesian statistics
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 ...

Markov Chain Monte Carlo Solution of Poisson’s Equation in Axisymmetric Regions
The advent of the Monte Carlo methods to the field of EM have seen floating random walk, fixed random walk and Exodus methods deployed to solve Poisson’s equation in rectangular coordinate and axisymmetric solution regions.

Coupling Control Variates for Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]
We show that Markov couplings can be used to improve the accuracy of Markov chain Monte Carlo calculations in some situations where the steady-state probability distribution is not explicitly known. The technique generalizes the notion of control variates from classical Monte Carlo integration.
