Late 19th-Century Navigational Uncertainties and Their Influence on Sea Surface Temperature Estimates
Chenguang Dai, Duo Chan, Peter Huybers +1
Accurate estimates of historical changes in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and their uncertainties are important for documenting and understanding historical changes in climate. A…

Monte Carlo Approximation of Bayes Factors via Mixing with Surrogate Distributions
Chenguang Dai, Jun S. Liu
By mixing the target posterior distribution with a surrogate distribution, of which the normalizing constant is tractable, we propose a method for estimating the marginal likelihoo…

The Wang-Landau Algorithm as Stochastic Optimization and Its Acceleration
Chenguang Dai, Jun S. Liu
We show that the Wang-Landau algorithm can be formulated as a stochastic gradient descent algorithm minimizing a smooth and convex objective function, of which the gradient is esti…
