Examples of adaptive MCMC

Abstract

We investigate the use of adaptive MCMC algorithms to auto- matically tune the Markov chain parameters during a run. Examples include the Adaptive Metropolis (AM) multivariate algorithm of Haario et al. (2001), Metropolis-within-Gibbs algorithms for non-conjugate hierarchical models, re- gionally adjusted Metropolis algorithms, and logarithmic scalings. Computer simulations indicate that the algorithms perform very well compared to non- adaptive algorithms, even in high dimension.
