Fast and accurate approximation of the full conditional for gamma shape parameters
Jeffrey W. Miller
The gamma distribution arises frequently in Bayesian models, but there is not an easy-to-use conjugate prior for the shape parameter of a gamma. This inconvenience is usually dealt…
Importance sampling for weighted binary random matrices with specified margins
Matthew T. Harrison, Jeffrey W. Miller
A sequential importance sampling algorithm is developed for the distribution that results when a matrix of independent, but not identically distributed, Bernoulli random variables…
Exact sampling and counting for fixed-margin matrices
Jeffrey W. Miller, Matthew T. Harrison
The uniform distribution on matrices with specified row and column sums is often a natural choice of null model when testing for structure in two-way tables (binary or nonnegative…
Exact Enumeration and Sampling of Matrices with Specified Margins
Jeffrey W. Miller, Matthew T. Harrison
We describe a dynamic programming algorithm for exact counting and exact uniform sampling of matrices with specified row and column sums. The algorithm runs in polynomial time when…
