A new technique allows complex interactions in materials to be simulated using Monte Carlo simulations thousands of times ...

We describe the ergodic properties of some Metropolis–Hastings algorithms for heavy-tailed target distributions. The results of these algorithms are usually analyzed under a subgeometric ergodic ...

Accurate and fast estimation of genetic parameters that underlie quantitative traits using mixed linear models with additive and dominance effects is of great importance in both natural and breeding ...

Inference for a complex system with a rough energy landscape is a central topic in Monte Carlo computation. Motivated by the successes of the Wang—Landau algorithm in discrete systems, we generalize ...
