Computational methods for complex stochastic systems: a review of some alternatives to MCMC
We consider analysis of complex stochastic models based upon partial information. MCMC and reversible jump MCMC are often the methods of choice for such problems, but in some situ...

Adaptive Langevin Sampler for Separation of t-Distribution Modelled Astrophysical Maps
We propose to model the image differentials of astrophysical source maps by Student's t-distribution and to use them in the Bayesian source separation method as priors. We int...

Sound and Efficient Inference with Probabilistic and Deterministic Dependencies
Reasoning with both probabilistic and deterministic dependencies is important for many real-world problems, and in particular for the emerging field of statistical relational lear...

An Efficient Approach to Learning Inhomogeneous Gibbs Model
Inhomogeneous Gibbs model (IGM) [4] is an effective maximum entropy model in characterizing complex highdimensional distributions. However, its training process is so slow that th...

On the parallelisation of MCMC by speculative chain execution
Abstract--The increasing availability of multi-core and multiprocessor architectures provides new opportunities for improving the performance of many computer simulations. Markov C...
