The Randomness Recycler: A New Technique for Perfect Sampling
For many probability distributions of interest, it is quite difficult to obtain samples efficiently. Often, Markov chains are employed to obtain approximately random samples fro...

Rapidly Mixing Markov Chains for Sampling Contingency Tables with a Constant Number of Rows
We consider the problem of sampling almost uniformly from the set of contingency tables with given row and column sums, when the number of rows is a constant. Cryan and Dyer [3] h...
