sequential Monte Carlo techniques
A Bayesian approach to find Pareto optima in multiobjective programming problems using Sequential Monte Carlo algorithms
... Sometimes, MCMC can be slow to converge and, therefore, it is prevented from exploring fully the posterior, which means that sub-optimal values of the solution may be found. As an alternative, we can use ...
