Efficient Construction of Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo Proposal Distributions
可逆跳跃 MCMC 提议分布的高效构造
Summary The major implementational problem for reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods is that there is commonly no natural way to choose jump proposals since there is no Euclidean structure in the parameter space to guide our choice. We consider mechanisms for guiding the choice of proposal. The first group of methods is based on an analysis of acceptance probabilities for jumps. Essentially, these methods involve a Taylor series expansion of the acceptance…
