Abstract

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a powerful means for generating random samples that can be used in computing statistical estimates and marginal and conditional probabilities. MCMC methods rely on dependent (Markov) sequences having a limiting distribution corresponding to a distribution of interest. This article is a survey of popular implementations of MCMC, focusing particularly on the two most popular specific implementations of MCMC: Metropolis-Hastings (M-H) and Gibbs sampling. Our aim is to provide the reader with some of the central motivation and the rudiments needed for a straightforward application.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
