Existing approaches that attempt to generate such . Dec 15, 2008 - An illustration of the use of reparameterisation methods for improving MCMC efficiency in crossed random effects models. May 20, 2014 - A common strategy for inference in complex models is the relaxation of a simple model into the more complex target model, for example the prior into the posterior in Bayesian inference. Tempered transitions is similar in that each sample in the MCMC chain comes from a long annealing run, so samples are individually expensive but very independent. Topics included approximate inference algorithms, machine learning methods, causal models, Markov decision processes, and applications in medical diagnosis, biology and text analysis. It gets even harder if we have a stochastic dynamical system. While the MCMC technology has revolutionized the usefulness of Bayesian statistics over the last few decades, it has not been able to scale well to today's very large data problems. Bayesian data analysis (2nd ed.). If a probability It is also possible that the simulation sampling (Monte Carlo presumably, likely not importance sampling) was insufficient to generate enough statistics to generate probabilities for the empty tails.

Nov 29, 2011 - With the little info they give, I can infer that the Markov chain algorithm (perhaps a HMM or something similar) they apply mixes the probabilities together according to Bayesian rules.
