Partition function approach to non-Gaussian likelihoods: macrocanonical partitions and replicating Markov-chains
Maximilian Philipp Herzog, Heinrich von Campe, Rebecca Maria Kuntz +2
Monte-Carlo techniques are standard numerical tools for exploring non-Gaussian and multivariate likelihoods. Many variants of the original Metropolis-Hastings algorithm have been p…
