Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods have become indispensable in contemporary statistical science, enabling researchers to approximate complex probability distributions that are otherwise ...
We describe a computational procedure for evaluating the quasi-stationary distributions of a continuous-time Markov chain. Our method, which is an 'iterative version' of Arnoldi's algorithm, is ...
In this talk I consider sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods for hidden Markov models. In the scenario for which the conditional density of the observations given the latent state is intractable we ...
