Many processors, little time: MCMC for partitions via optimal transport couplings

Tin D. Nguyen, Brian L. Trippe, Tamara Broderick

Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are often used in clustering since they guarantee asymptotically exact expectations in the infinite-time limit. In finite time, though, slow…

For high-dimensional hierarchical models, consider exchangeability of effects across covariates instead of across datasets

Brian L. Trippe, Hilary K. Finucane, Tamara Broderick

Hierarchical Bayesian methods enable information sharing across multiple related regression problems. While standard practice is to model regression parameters (effects) as (1) exc…
