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 ...
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 ...
The problen of the backscattering of electrons from metal targets is subject of extensive theoreticel and experimental work in surface analysis. We are interested in the angular di...
