Continuous-time sampler handles unknown-dimensional Bayesian models
—
in MathematicsWhat the study found The paper presents samsara, a continuous-time Markov chain Monte Carlo (CTMCMC) sampler designed for Bayesian inference when the number of parameters is unknown. The authors report that it achieves automatic acceptance of trans-dimensional moves and high sampling efficiency. Why the authors say this matters The authors say this matters because many…
