Using Statistical Mechanics to Improve Real-World Bayesian Inference: A New Method Combining Tempered Posteriors and Wang-Landau Sampling
Alfred C. K. Farris
We present a simple method to obtain optimal posterior distributions and improve the quality of Bayesian inference with reduced human and computational effort. Bayes' Theorem is re…

Histogram-Free Multicanonical Monte Carlo Sampling to Calculate the Density of States
Alfred C. K. Farris, Ying Wai Li, Markus Eisenbach
We report a new multicanonical Monte Carlo algorithm to obtain the density of states for physical systems with continuous state variables in statistical mechanics. Our algorithm is…

Renormalization Group Solution of the Chutes&Ladder Model
Lauren A. Ball, Alfred C. K. Farris, Stefan Boettcher
We analyze a semi-infinite one-dimensional random walk process with a biased motion that is incremental in one direction and long-range in the other. On a network with a fixed hier…
