Markov chain Monte Carlo is the engine of modern Bayesian statistics, being used to approximate the posterior and derived quantities of interest. Despite this, the issue of how the output from a Markov chain is postprocessed and reported is often overlooked.

Accelerating MCMC algorithms [PDF]
Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms are used to simulate from complex statistical distributions by way of a local exploration of these distributions. This local feature avoids heavy requests on understanding the nature of the target, but it also potentially induces a lengthy exploration of this target, with a requirement on the number of simulations ...

ABSTRACTWe introduce Bilby-MCMC, a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling algorithm tuned for the analysis of gravitational waves from merging compact objects. Bilby-MCMC provides a parallel-tempered ensemble Metropolis-Hastings sampler with access to a block-updating proposal library including problem-specific and machine learning proposals. We demonstrate

Fast Compression of MCMC Output [PDF]
We propose cube thinning, a novel method for compressing the output of an MCMC (Markov chain Monte Carlo) algorithm when control variates are available. It allows resampling of the initial MCMC sample (according to weights derived from control variates), while imposing equality constraints on the averages of these control variates, using the cube ...

Detecting recombination with MCMC [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: We present a statistical method for detecting recombination, whose objective is to accurately locate the recombinant breakpoints in DNA sequence alignments of small numbers of taxa (4 or 5). Our approach explicitly models the sequence of phylogenetic tree topologies along a multiple sequence alignment.

MCMC‐driven importance samplers
Monte Carlo sampling methods are the standard procedure for approximating complicated integrals of multidimensional posterior distributions in Bayesian inference. In this work, we focus on the class of Layered Adaptive Importance Sampling (LAIS) scheme, which is a family of adaptive importance samplers where Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms are ...

Locking phenomena in finite element analysis of deep beam and removal method
Since earlier 30 years ago, Finite Element Methods (FEM) has become an indispensable tool of engineers for analysis mechanical behaviour of structures. Generally displacement models are used in most usual problems.
