Monte Carlo methods and Markov Chain algorithms have long been central to computational science, forming the backbone of numerical simulation in a variety of disciplines. These techniques employ ...

The application of Bayesian methods to large-scale phylogenetics problems is increasingly limited by computational issues, motivating the development of methods that can complement existing Markov ...

Start working toward program admission and requirements right away. Work you complete in the non-credit experience will transfer to the for-credit experience when you ...

The Annals of Statistics, Vol. 39, No. 2 (April 2011), pp. 673-701 (29 pages) The random numbers driving Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation are usually modeled as independent U (0, 1) random ...

What Is Markov Chain Monte Carlo? Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a powerful technique used in statistics and various scientific fields to sample from complex probability distributions. It is ...
