Honest Exploration of Intractable Probability Distributions via Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Two important questions that must be answered whenever a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is used are (Q1) What is an appropriate burn-in? and (Q2) How long should the sampling continue after burn-in?Developing rigorous answers to these questions presently requires a detailed study of the convergence properties of the …
