What Is Markov Chain Monte Carlo? Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a powerful technique used in statistics and various scientific fields to sample from complex probability distributions. It is ...
The evolution of DNA sequences can be described by discrete state continuous time Markov processes on a phylogenetic tree. We consider neighbor-dependent evolutionary models where the instantaneous ...
Standard MCMC methods can scale poorly to big data settings due to the need to evaluate the likelihood at each iteration. There have been a number of approximate MCMC algorithms that use sub-sampling ...
