Variance reduction properties of the reparameterization trick

no code implementations27 Sep 2018 Ming Xu, Matias Quiroz, Robert Kohn, Scott A. Sisson

From this, we show that the marginal variances of the reparameterization gradient estimator are smaller than those of the score function gradient estimator.

Subsampling MCMC - An introduction for the survey statistician

no code implementations23 Jul 2018 Matias Quiroz, Mattias Villani, Robert Kohn, Minh-Ngoc Tran, Khue-Dung Dang

The rapid development of computing power and efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation algorithms have revolutionized Bayesian statistics, making it a highly practical inference method in applied work.

Survey Sampling

Subsampling Sequential Monte Carlo for Static Bayesian Models

no code implementations8 May 2018 David Gunawan, Khue-Dung Dang, Matias Quiroz, Robert Kohn, Minh-Ngoc Tran

SMC sequentially updates a cloud of particles through a sequence of distributions, beginning with a distribution that is easy to sample from such as the prior and ending with the posterior distribution.

Gaussian variational approximation for high-dimensional state space models

no code implementations24 Jan 2018 Matias Quiroz, David J. Nott, Robert Kohn

The variational parameters to be optimized are the mean vector and the covariance matrix of the approximation.

Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Energy Conserving Subsampling

no code implementations2 Aug 2017 Khue-Dung Dang, Matias Quiroz, Robert Kohn, Minh-Ngoc Tran, Mattias Villani

The key insight in our article is that efficient subsampling HMC for the parameters is possible if both the dynamics and the acceptance probability are computed from the same data subsample in each complete HMC iteration.

The block-Poisson estimator for optimally tuned exact subsampling MCMC

no code implementations27 Mar 2016 Matias Quiroz, Minh-Ngoc Tran, Mattias Villani, Robert Kohn, Khue-Dung Dang

A pseudo-marginal MCMC method is proposed that estimates the likelihood by data subsampling using a block-Poisson estimator.

Scalable MCMC for Large Data Problems using Data Subsampling and the Difference Estimator

no code implementations10 Jul 2015 Matias Quiroz, Mattias Villani, Robert Kohn

We propose a generic Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm to speed up computations for datasets with many observations.

Survey Sampling

Speeding Up MCMC by Efficient Data Subsampling

no code implementations16 Apr 2014 Matias Quiroz, Robert Kohn, Mattias Villani, Minh-Ngoc Tran

We propose Subsampling MCMC, a Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) framework where the likelihood function for $n$ observations is estimated from a random subset of $m$ observations.
