Niloy Biswas, Lester Mackey, Xiao-Li Meng
Spike-and-slab priors are commonly used for Bayesian variable selection, due to their interpretability and favorable statistical properties. However, existing samplers for spike-an…

Bounding Wasserstein distance with couplings
Niloy Biswas, Lester Mackey
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides asymptotically consistent estimates of intractable posterior expectations as the number of iterations tends to infinity. However, in large…

Estimating Convergence of Markov chains with L-Lag Couplings
Niloy Biswas, Pierre E. Jacob, Paul Vanetti
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods generate samples that are asymptotically distributed from a target distribution of interest as the number of iterations goes to infinity. Va…
