[back to package description]

Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler

Sample from a posterior using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms.

At the moment, the following algorithms are available:

  • Metropolis-Hastings-Green 1;
  • Metropolis-coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo (also known as parallel tempering) 2 , 3.
  • Hamilton Monte Carlo proposal 4.

Documentation

The source code contains detailed documentation about general concepts as well as specific functions.

Examples

Example MCMC analyses can be built with cabal-install or Stack and are attached to this repository.

git clone https://github.com/dschrempf/mcmc.git
cd mcmc
stack build

For example, estimate the accuracy of an archer with

stack exec archery

For a more involved example, have a look at the phylogenetic dating project.
