One size does not fit all: Customizing MCMC methods for hierarchical models using NIMBLE
One size does not fit all: Customizing MCMC methods for hierarchical models using NIMBLE
Improved efficiency of Markov chain Monte Carlo facilitates all aspects of statistical analysis with Bayesian hierarchical models. Identifying strategies to improve MCMC performance is becoming increasingly crucial as the complexity of models, and the run times to fit them, increases. We evaluate different strategies for improving MCMC efficiency using the …
