- In MCMC samplers of continuous random variables, Markov chain couplings can overcome bias. (github.io)
Convergence4
- We obtain universal estimates on the convergence to equilibrium and the times of coupling for continuous time irreducible reversible finite-state Markov chains, both in the total variation and in the $L^2$ norms. (projecteuclid.org)
- The estimates in total variation norm are obtained using a novel identity relating the convergence to equilibrium of a reversible Markov chain to the increase in the entropy of its one-dimensional distributions. (projecteuclid.org)
- Finally, for chains reversible with respect to the uniform measure, we show how the global convergence to equilibrium can be controlled using the entropy accumulated by the chain. (projecteuclid.org)
- Under natural regularity conditions, the composite iteration reduces the error by a factor proportional to the size of the coupling between aggregates, so that the more loosely the chain is coupled, the faster the convergence. (umd.edu)
Processes2

- Instead of the original chain, we use two bounding processes (envelopes) and we show that, whenever they couple, one obtains a sample under the stationary distribution of the original chain. (lacl.fr)
Probability4
- Consider a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) such that both the state space and the observation space are complete, separable, metric spaces and for which both the transition probability function (tr.pr.f.) determining the hidden Markov chain of the HMM and the tr.pr.f. determining the observation sequence of the HMM have densities. (diva-portal.org)
- A fully dominated, regular HMM induces a tr.pr.f. on the set of probability density functions on the state space which we call the filter kernel induced by the HMM and which can be interpreted as the Markov kernel associated to the sequence of conditional state distributions. (diva-portal.org)
- The Markov chain can be summarized as a sequence of "states" where the next state is chosen at random based on some probability to change to another given state or stay at the same state. (andrewjmoodie.com)
- This paper is concerned with an iteration for determining the steady-state probability vector of a nearly uncoupled Markov Chain. (umd.edu)

- Here are a couple of small typos that should be corrected on page 6: 'the combination intuitively makes sens' 'Algoritm 3' One apparent omission appears to be the proof that the proposed Markov chains in Algorithms 1, 2, and 3 are invariant to their target distributions. (nips.cc)
- The authors present theoretical bounds for the mixing time of the Markov chain for three different algorithms that are applicable to three different classes of problems. (nips.cc)

Discrete1
- We show that straightforward applications of existing coupling ideas to discrete clustering variables fail to meet quickly. (github.io)
Ergodic2
- We show that if the underlying hidden Markov chain of the fully dominated, regular HMM is strongly ergodic and a certain coupling condition is fulfilled, then, in the limit, the distribution of the conditional distribution becomes independent of the initial distribution of the hidden Markov chain and, if also the hidden Markov chain is uniformly ergodic, then the distributions tend towards a limit distribution.

State2
- In addition, we propose a universal way of defining the ultrametric partition structure on the state space of such Markov chains. (projecteuclid.org)
