Efficient implementation of Markov chain Monte Carlo when using an unbiased likelihood estimator
使用无偏似然估计时的 MCMC 高效实现
When an unbiased estimator of the likelihood is used within a Metropolis–Hastings chain, it is necessary to trade off the number of Monte Carlo samples used to construct this estimator against the asymptotic variances of the averages computed under this chain. Using many Monte Carlo samples will typically result in Metropolis–Hastings averages with lower asymptotic variances than the corresponding averages that use fewer samples; however, the computing time required to…
