Density tempering (also called density annealing) is a sequential Monte Carlo approach to Bayesian inference for general state models which is an alternative to Markov chain Monte …
A new approach to state filtering and parameter estimation for a class of stochastic volatility models for which the likelihood function is unknown is considered. The alpha-stable …
Abstract Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) is a powerful approach to Bayesian computation for general state space models. Our article enables PMCMC to handle a larger …
Particle MCMC involves using a particle filter within an MCMC algorithm. For inference of a model which involves an unobserved stochastic process, the standard implementation uses …
The Bayesian Mallows model is a flexible tool for analyzing data in the form of complete or partial rankings, and transitive or intransitive pairwise preferences. In many potential …
Sequential Monte Carlo squared (SMC $^ 2$; Chopin et al., 2012) methods can be used to sample from the exact posterior distribution of intractable likelihood state space models …
Estimation and prediction in high dimensional multivariate factor stochastic volatility models is an important and active research area because such models allow a parsimonious …
Calibrating statistical models to data can be a challenging task, particularly when the model is difficult or time consuming to evaluate. Methods that infer the parameters of these models …
