Bayesian analysis using MCMC methods of record values based on a new generalised Rayleigh distribution
... Abstract. In this paper, we extend the Rayleigh distribution to create a gen- eralised Rayleigh distribution which is more flexible than the standard. The general properties of the new distribution are derived and ...

Reconstructing regulatory networks from high throughput post genomic data using MCMC methods
... Using the set of EGs as “pseudo genes” for the network inference, the sam- pler was set to run for 150, 000 iterations from five randomly chosen starting points. Every 10 th drawn sample was then saved from each chain. ...

Scaling analysis of MCMC algorithms
... In this thesis, we are mainly interested in MCMC methods which proceed via local moves. In other words, the proposals are small perturbations of the current state of the Metropolis-Hastings Markov chain. ...
