摘要
后验分布是贝叶斯推理的本质,所有进一步的贝叶斯推断均可通过后验分布来完成.然而,应用统计实践中利用Bayes定理得到的后验密度经常是半共轭乃至复杂的、高维的.马氏链式蒙特卡洛(MCMC)方法为解决此问题提供了很好的思路.主要研究基于马氏链的蒙特卡洛采样技术基本算法和实现策略.
The posterior distribution is the essence of Bayesian inference,and all further Bayesian inference can be realized via posterior distribution. However,the posterior density function obtained by Bayes theorem in statistical practice is often semi-conjugate and even complex,high-dimensional. Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method provides a good idea to solve this problem. This paper mainly studies the basic algorithm and implementation strategy of Monte Carlo sampling technique based on Markov chain.
