description:
This package presents a simple combinator language for Markov transition
operators that are useful in MCMC.
.
Any transition operators sharing the same stationary distribution and obeying
the Markov and reversibility properties can be combined in a couple of ways,
such that the resulting operator preserves the stationary distribution and
desirable properties amenable for MCMC.
.
We can deterministically concatenate operators end-to-end, or sample from
a collection of them according to some probability distribution. See
<http://www.stat.umn.edu/geyer/f05/8931/n1998.pdf Geyer, 2005> for details.
.
A useful strategy is to hedge one's 'sampling risk' by occasionally
interleaving a computationally-expensive transition (such as a gradient-based
algorithm like Hamiltonian Monte Carlo or NUTS) with cheap Metropolis
transitions.
.
> transition = frequency [
> (9, metropolis 1.0)
> , (1, hamiltonian 0.05 20)
> ]
.
Alternatively: sample consecutively using the same algorithm, but over a
range of different proposal distributions.
.
> transition = concatAllT [
> slice 0.5
> , slice 1.0
> , slice 2.0
> ]
.
Or just mix and match and see what happens!
.
> transition =
> sampleT
> (sampleT (metropolis 0.5) (slice 0.1))
> (sampleT (hamiltonian 0.01 20) (metropolis 2.0))
.
Check the test suite for example usage.
