Nested sampling with plateaus
Andrew Fowlie, Will Handley, Liangliang Su
It was recently emphasised by Riley (2019); Schittenhelm & Wacker (2020) that that in the presence of plateaus in the likelihood function nested sampling (NS) produces faulty estim…
Nested sampling cross-checks using order statistics
Andrew Fowlie, Will Handley, Liangliang Su
Nested sampling (NS) is an invaluable tool in data analysis in modern astrophysics, cosmology, gravitational wave astronomy and particle physics. We identify a previously unused pr…
nestcheck: diagnostic tests for nested sampling calculations
Edward Higson, Will Handley, Mike Hobson +1
Nested sampling is an increasingly popular technique for Bayesian computation, in particular for multimodal, degenerate problems of moderate to high dimensionality. Without appropr…
Dynamic nested sampling: an improved algorithm for parameter estimation and evidence calculation
Edward Higson, Will Handley, Mike Hobson +1
We introduce dynamic nested sampling: a generalisation of the nested sampling algorithm in which the number of "live points" varies to allocate samples more efficiently. In empiric…
