Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in joint-attention naming game: experimental semiotics study [PDF]
We explore the emergence of symbols during interactions between individuals through an experimental semiotic study. Previous studies have investigated how humans organize symbol systems through communication using artificially designed subjective ...

Efficient Quantum Walk Circuits for Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm [PDF]
We present a detailed circuit implementation of Szegedy's quantization of the Metropolis-Hastings walk. This quantum walk is usually defined with respect to an oracle.

Hastings-Metropolis algorithm on Markov chains for small-probability estimation*** [PDF]
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 ...

A multiple-try Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with tailored proposals [PDF]
We present a new multiple-try Metropolis-Hastings algorithm designed to be especially beneficial when a tailored proposal distribution is available. The algorithm is based on a given acyclic graph $G$, where one of the nodes in $G$, $k$ say, contains the

Finite adaptation and multistep moves in the metropolis-hastings algorithm for variable selection in genome-wide association analysis. [PDF]
High-dimensional datasets with large amounts of redundant information are nowadays available for hypothesis-free exploration of scientific questions. A particular case is genome-wide association analysis, where variations in the genome are searched for ...

Adaptive Mixture of Student-t Distributions as a Flexible Candidate Distribution for Efficient Simulation: The R Package AdMit [PDF]
This paper presents the R package AdMit which provides flexible functions to approximate a certain target distribution and to efficiently generate a sample of random draws from it, given only a kernel of the target density function.
