Thesis title : Annealed Importance Sampling within Reversible Jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm  [ Link 🔗 ]
Description : In my PhD thesis, I propose a methodology to efficiently implement reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms, applicable for example to model selection inference in the Bayesian framework. I have developed an algorithm which is called `Annealed importance sampling reversible jump MCMC'. I have demonstrated the performance and properties of the algorithm against challenging Bayesian model uncertainty problems such as Gaussian mixture models, and Poisson change point models.
