Optimal scaling of random-walk metropolis algorithms on general target distributions

J Yang, GO Roberts, JS Rosenthal - Stochastic Processes and their …, 2020 - Elsevier
One main limitation of the existing optimal scaling results for Metropolis–Hastings algorithms

Complexity bounds for Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms via diffusion limits

GO Roberts, JS Rosenthal - Journal of Applied Probability, 2016 - cambridge.org
We connect known results about diffusion limits of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC)
algorithms to the computer science notion of algorithm complexity. Our main result states …
