It is well known that traditional Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods can fail to effectively explore the state space for multimodal problems. Parallel tempering is a well-established population ...
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a family of algorithms which is used to draw samples from arbitrary probability distributions in order to estimate – otherwise intractable – integrals. When the ...
Inference for a complex system with a rough energy landscape is a central topic in Monte Carlo computation. Motivated by the successes of the Wang—Landau algorithm in discrete systems, we generalize ...
