We consider the recently introduced Transformation-based Markov Chain Monte Carlo (TMCMC) (Stat. Methodol. 16 (2014) 100–116), a methodology that is designed to update all the parameters ...
Reversible jump methods are the most commonly used Markov chain Monte Carlo tool for exploring variable dimension statistical models. Recently, however, an alternative approach based on ...
A Markov chain is a sequence of random variables that satisfies P(X t+1 ∣X t ,X t−1 ,…,X 1 )=P(X t+1 ∣X t ). Simply put, it is a sequence in which X t+1 depends only on X t and appears before X t−1 ...
