New Gibbs sampling method accelerates Gaussian graphical model analysis

Researchers have developed an accelerated random-sweep Gibbs sampling method for Gaussian graphical models. This new approach significantly enhances convergence rates by utilizing the dual model, which is derived from the Fourier transform of the original model's local factors. The method proves effective for homogeneous k-regular graphs, demonstrating that the dual domain's convergence rate is independent of graph topology and is governed by the graph's algebraic connectivity, thereby improving efficiency without increasing computational complexity.

    Accelerated Random-Sweep Gibbs Sampling for Gaussian Graphical Models via Dual Normal Factor Graphs

    arXiv:2607.28706v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study the convergence properties of the random-sweep Gibbs sampler for Gaussian graphical models with a thin-membrane prior. We demonstrate that the convergence rate of the Gibbs sampler is significantly accelerated in the dual m…
