Generalized darting Monte Carlo
One of the main shortcomings of Markov chain Monte Carlo samplers is their inability to mix between modes of the target distribution. In this paper we show that advance knowledge ...

On Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian multivariate regression models with heavy-tailed errors
We consider Bayesian analysis of data from multivariate linear regression models whose errors have a distribution that is a scale mixture of normals. Such models are used to analy...

Particle methods for maximum likelihood estimation in latent variable models
Standard methods for maximum likelihood parameter estimation in latent variable models rely on the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and its Monte Carlo variants. Our approach is ...

Parallel Chains, Delayed Rejection and Reversible Jump MCMC for Object Recognition
We tackle the problem of object recognition using a Bayesian approach. A marked point process [1] is used as a prior model for the (unknown number of) objects. A sample is generat...
