Random sampling of contingency tables and partitions: Two practical examples of the Burnside process
Persi Diaconis, Michael Howes
This paper gives new, efficient algorithms for approximate uniform sampling of contingency tables and integer partitions. The algorithms use the Burnside process, a general algorit…
