Hit and run as a unifying device

Hans C. Andersen, Persi Diaconis (2007)

Journal de la société française de statistique

Similarity:

We present a generalization of hit and run algorithms for Markov chain Monte Carlo problems that is ‘equivalent’ to data augmentation and auxiliary variables. These algorithms contain the Gibbs sampler and Swendsen-Wang block spin dynamics as special cases. The unification allows theorems, examples, and heuristics developed in one domain to illuminate parallel domains.

Reduction of absorbing Markov chain

Mariusz Górajski (2009)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we consider an absorbing Markov chain with finite number of states. We focus especially on random walk on transient states. We present a graph reduction method and prove its validity. Using this method we build algorithms which allow us to determine the distribution of time to absorption, in particular we compute its moments and the probability of absorption. The main idea used in the proofs consists in observing a nondecreasing sequence of stopping times. Random walk on...

Calculation of Reliability Characteristics for Regenerative Models

Kalashnikov, Vladimir (1996)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

If a regenerative process is represented as semi-regenerative, we derive formulae enabling us to calculate basic characteristics associated with the first occurrence time starting from corresponding characteristics for the semi-regenerative process. Recursive equations, integral equations, and Monte-Carlo algorithms are proposed for practical solving of the problem.

Large deviations and full Edgeworth expansions for finite Markov chains with applications to the analysis of genomic sequences

Pierre Pudlo (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

To establish lists of words with unexpected frequencies in long sequences, for instance in a molecular biology context, one needs to quantify the exceptionality of families of word frequencies in random sequences. To this aim, we study large deviation probabilities of multidimensional word counts for Markov and hidden Markov models. More specifically, we compute local Edgeworth expansions of arbitrary degrees for multivariate partial sums of lattice valued functionals of finite...
