Statistical Inference and Computation with Intractable
Statistical Inference for Models with Intractable Normalizing Constants
... The MCMH algorithm is a Monte Carlo version of the Metropolis-Hastings al- gorithm. At each iteration, it replaces the unknown normalizing constant ratio by a Monte Carlo estimate. Although the algorithm violates the ...
