Weak Poincar\'e inequality comparisons for ideal and hybrid slice
sampling
Using the framework of weak Poincar{\'e} inequalities, we provide a general comparison between the Hybrid and Ideal Slice Sampling Markov chains in terms of their Dirichlet forms. In particular, under suitable assumptions Hybrid Slice Sampling will inherit fast convergence from Ideal Slice Sampling and conversely. We apply our results to …
