Combining the Meiosis Gibbs Sampler With the Random Walk Approach for Linkage and Association Studies With a General Complex Pedigree and Multimarker Loci
... IBD probabilities were estimated on the basis of true haplo- types or sampled haplotypes, using the random walk approach (RA), the meiosis Gibbs sampler (MS), and the combined method (RAMS). IBD ...

Analysis of the Gibbs Sampler for hierarchical inverse problems
... Our numerical results confirmed our theory on the deterioration of CA as well as our intu- ition about the robustness of NCA in the large N limit. However, for NCA the δ -chain slows down in the small noise limit. This is ...
