New Barker proposal variants enhance Monte Carlo sampling algorithms
Researchers have introduced new versions of the Barker proposal, a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm that utilizes skew-symmetric distributions for improved Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling. The paper details coordi…

New method optimizes MCMC algorithm scaling using Metropolis-Hastings symmetry
A new paper published on arXiv details a general approach to optimizing the scaling properties of Metropolised Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms as dimensionality increases. The method leverages the symmetry in…
