Parallel Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Chemical Physics, 2007
With strict detailed balance, parallel Monte Carlo simulation through domain decomposition cannot be validated with conventional Markov chain theory, which describes an intrinsically serial stochastic process. In this work, the parallel version of Markov chain theory and its role in accelerating Monte Carlo simulations via cluster computing is explored.

Performance of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and No-U-Turn Sampler for estimating genetic parameters and breeding values

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2019
Background Hamiltonian Monte Carlo is one of the algorithms of the Markov chain Monte Carlo method that uses Hamiltonian dynamics to propose samples that follow a target distribution.

Perceptual multistability as Markov Chain Monte Carlo inference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
While many perceptual and cognitive phenomena are well described in terms of Bayesian inference, the necessary computations are intractable at the scale of real-world tasks, and it remains unclear how the human mind approximates Bayesian computations ...

Convergence Diagnostics for Markov Chain Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Statistics and Its Application, 2020
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is one of the most useful approaches to scientific computing because of its flexible construction, ease of use, and generality. Indeed, MCMC is indispensable for performing Bayesian analysis. Two critical questions that MCMC practitioners need to address are where to start and when to stop the simulation.

Hastings-Metropolis algorithm on Markov chains for small-probability estimation***

open access: yesESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, 2015
Shielding studies in neutron transport, with Monte Carlo codes, yield challenging problems of small-probability estimation. The particularity of these studies is that the small probability to estimate is formulated in terms of the ...

Deep Markov Chain Monte Carlo

open access: yes, 2019
We propose a new computationally efficient sampling scheme for Bayesian inference involving high dimensional probability distributions. Our method maps the original parameter space into a low-dimensional latent space, explores the latent space to generate samples, and maps these samples back to the original space for inference.

Seriation in paleontological data using markov chain Monte Carlo methods.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2006
Given a collection of fossil sites with data about the taxa that occur in each site, the task in biochronology is to find good estimates for the ages or ordering of sites. We describe a full probabilistic model for fossil data.
