Abstract

Label switching is a well-known phenomenon that occurs in MCMC outputs targeting the parameters’ posterior distribution of many latent variable models. Although its appearence is necessary for the convergence of the simulated Markov chain, it turns out to be a problem in the estimation procedure. In a recent paper, Papastamoulis and Iliopoulos (J Comput Graph Stat 19:313–331, 2010) introduced the Equivalence Classes Representatives (ECR) algorithm as a solution of this problem in the context of finite mixtures of distributions. In this paper, label switching is considered under a general missing data model framework that includes as special cases finite mixtures, hidden Markov models, and Markov random fields. The use of ECR algorithm is extended to this general framework and is shown that the relabelled sequence which it produces converges to its target distribution at the same rate as the Random Permutation Sampler of Frühwirth-Schnatter (2001) and that both converge at least as fast as the Markov chain generated by the original MCMC output.
