Randomized Quasi Sequential Markov Chain Monte Carlo²

Author

Abstract

Sequential Monte Carlo and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods are combined into a unifying framework for Bayesian parameter inference in non-linear, non-Gaussian state space models. A variety of tuning approaches are suggested to boost convergence: likelihood tempering, data tempering, adaptive proposals, random blocking, and randomized Quasi Monte Carlo numbers. The methods are illustrated and compared by running eight variants of the algorithm to estimate the parameters of a standard stochastic volatility model.
