Calibration of conditional composite likelihood for Bayesian inference on Gibbs random fields
arXiv:1502.01997
Abstract
Gibbs random fields play an important role in statistics, however, the resulting likelihood is typically unavailable due to an intractable normalizing constant. Composite likelihoods offer a principled means to construct useful approximations. This paper provides a mean to calibrate the posterior distribution resulting from using a composite likelihood and illustrate its performance in several examples.
