Alternatives To The MCMC Method [PDF]
The Markov Chain Monte Carlo method (MCMC) is often used to generate independent (pseudo) random numbers from a distribution with a density that is known only up to a normalising constant. With the MCMC method it is not necessary to compute the normalising constant (see e.g. Tierney, 1994; Besag, 2000).

Estimation of Hyperbolic Diffusion Using MCMC Method [PDF]
In this paper we propose a Bayesian method for estimating hyperbolic diffusion models. The approach is based on the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method after discretization via the Milstein scheme.

On the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method
Let \(f(x)\) be a density of a distribution of some random variable \(X.\) We are interested in computing the integral \(\int\limits g(x) f(x)\,dx = E g(X)\) for a given function \(g.\) If we can generate a random sample \(x_1, \ldots, x_n\) of size \(n\) from this distribution and compute \(a_n ={1\over n} \sum_{i=1}^n g(x_i)\), then by the law of ...

MCMC METHODS FOR DIFFUSION BRIDGES [PDF]
We present and study a Langevin MCMC approach for sampling nonlinear diffusion bridges. The method is based on recent theory concerning stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) reversible with respect to the target bridge, derived by applying the Langevin idea on the bridge pathspace.

Limit theorems for sequential MCMC methods [PDF]
AbstractBoth sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods (a.k.a. ‘particle filters’) and sequential Markov chain Monte Carlo (sequential MCMC) methods constitute classes of algorithms which can be used to approximate expectations with respect to (a sequence of) probability distributions and their normalising constants.

Bayesian parameter inference by Markov chain Monte Carlo with hybrid fitness measures: theory and test in apoptosis signal transduction network. [PDF]
When model parameters in systems biology are not available from experiments, they need to be inferred so that the resulting simulation reproduces the experimentally known phenomena. For the purpose, Bayesian statistics with Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)

Laplace approximation for conditional autoregressive models for spatial data of diseases
Conditional autoregressive (CAR) distributions are used to account for spatial autocorrelation in small areal or lattice data to assess the spatial risks of diseases.

Bayesian inference on reliability parameter with non-identical-component strengths for Rayleigh distribution [PDF]
In this paper, we delve into Bayesian inference related to multi-component stress-strength parameters, focusing on non-identical component strengths within a two-parameter Rayleigh distribution under the progressive first failure censoring scheme.
