Metropolis-Hastings Algorithms for Estimating Betweenness Centrality in Large Networks
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, first given a network G and a vertex r ∈ V(G), we propose a Metropolis-Hastings MCMC algorithm that samples from the space V(G) and estimates betweenness score of r. ...
The stationary distribution of our MCMC sampler is the optimal sampling proposed for betweenness centrality estimation. ...
Although there exist polynomial time and space algorithms for betweenness centrality estimation, the algorithms are expensive in practice. ...

Bayesian parameter estimation for a jet-milling model using Metropolis–Hastings and Wang–Landau sampling
2013
Chemical Engineering Science
Bayesian parameter estimates for a computationally expensive multi-response jet-milling model are computed using the Metropolis-Hastings and Wang-Landau Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling algorithms. ...
Comparison of the autocorrelation function between samples generated by the two algorithms shows that the Wang-Landau algorithm exhibits more rapid decay. ...
It should be noted that it is not appropriate to make a direct comparison between the two algorithms based on these plots, as the kernel density estimation for Metropolis-Hastings is based on more points ...

Slice sampler algorithm for generalized Pareto distribution
2017
Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics
The results were compared with another commonly used Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) technique called Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. ...
Moreover, the slice sampler algorithm presents a higher level of stationarity in terms of the scale and shape parameters compared with the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm. ...
Mira and Tierney [32] prove that the slice sampler algorithm performs better than the corresponding independence Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in terms of asymptotic variance in the central limit theorem ...

Implementations of the Monte Carlo EM Algorithm
2001
Journal of Computational And Graphical Statistics
The most flexible and generally applicable approach to obtaining a Monte Carlo sample in each iteration of an MCEM algorithm is through Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) routines such as the Gibbs and Metropolis-Hastings ...
In particular, we apply an automated rule for increasing the Monte Carlo sample size when the Monte Carlo error overwhelms the EM estimate at any given iteration. ...
Each iteration of the sample u (r) 1 , . . . u (r) m is generated from a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with N (0, σ 2 ) candidate distribution. ...

Variance Reduction for Metropolis-Hastings Samplers
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
We introduce a general framework that constructs estimators with reduced variance for random walk Metropolis and Metropolis-adjusted Langevin algorithms. ...
The resulting estimators require negligible computational cost and are derived in a post-process manner utilising all proposal values of the Metropolis algorithms. ...

These obviously depends on the connection between p and q. For instance, the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm is an i.i.d. sampler when q(·|X n ) = p(·), a choice that is rarely available. ...

Gradient-free MCMC methods for dynamic causal modelling

NeuroImage
For the Bayesian inversion of a single-node neural mass model, both adaptive and population-based samplers are more efficient compared with random walk Metropolis sampler or slice-sampling; yet adaptive ...
Slice-sampling yields the highest number of independent samples from the target density - albeit at almost 1000% increase in computational time, in comparison to the most efficient algorithm (i.e., the ...
For this, we implemented three variants of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm; along with a slice sampling algorithm. ...
