Hess-MC2: Sequential Monte Carlo Squared using Hessian Information and Second Order Proposals
Joshua Murphy, Conor Rosato, Andrew Millard +3
When performing Bayesian inference using Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods, two considerations arise: the accuracy of the posterior approximation and computational efficiency. T…

Efficient MCMC Sampling with Expensive-to-Compute and Irregular Likelihoods
Conor Rosato, Harvinder Lehal, Simon Maskell +2
Bayesian inference with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is challenging when the likelihood function is irregular and expensive to compute. We explore several sampling algorithms th…

Enhanced SMC: Leveraging Gradient Information from Differentiable Particle Filters Within Langevin Proposals
Conor Rosato, Joshua Murphy, Alessandro Varsi +2
Sequential Monte Carlo Squared (SMC) is a Bayesian method which can infer the states and parameters of non-linear, non-Gaussian state-space models. The standard random-walk pro…
