Stability of doubly-intractable distributions
Michael Habeck, Daniel Rudolf, Björn Sprungk
Doubly-intractable distributions appear naturally as posterior distributions in Bayesian inference frameworks whenever the likelihood contains a normalizing function . Having tw…

Expected dispersion of uniformly distributed points
Aicke Hinrichs, David Krieg, Robert J. Kunsch +1
The dispersion of a point set in is the volume of the largest axis parallel box inside the unit cube that does not intersect with the point set. We study the expected dis…

Quantitative spectral gap estimate and Wasserstein contraction of simple slice sampling
Viacheslav Natarovskii, Daniel Rudolf, Björn Sprungk
We prove Wasserstein contraction of simple slice sampling for approximate sampling w.r.t. distributions with log-concave and rotational invariant Lebesgue densities. This yields, i…
