An Interruptible Algorithm for Perfect Sampling via Markov Chains
For a large class of examples arising in statistical physics known as attractive spin systems (e.g., the Ising model), one seeks to sample from a probability distribution π on an...

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...

 Tracking of Abrupt Motion using Wang-Landau Monte Carlo Estimation
We propose a novel tracking algorithm based on the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo sampling method which efficiently deals with the abrupt motions. Abrupt motions could cause conventional ...

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...
