In rchan26/hierarchicalFusion: Divide-and-Conquer Monte Carlo Fusion

(Balanced Binary) D&C Monte Carlo Fusion using SMC

Description

(Balanced Binary) D&C Monte Carlo Fusion with univariate Gaussian target

Usage

bal_binary_fusion_SMC_uniGaussian(
  N_schedule,
  m_schedule,
  time_schedule,
  base_samples,
  L,
  mean,
  sd,
  start_beta,
  precondition = TRUE,
  resampling_method = "multi",
  ESS_threshold = 0.5,
  diffusion_estimator = "Poisson",
  beta_NB = 10,
  gamma_NB_n_points = 2,
  seed = NULL,
  n_cores = parallel::detectCores()
)

Arguments

N_schedule	vector of length (L-1), where N_schedule[l] is the number of samples per node at level l
m_schedule	vector of length (L-1), where m_schedule[l] is the number of samples to fuse for level l
time_schedule	vector of length(L-1), where time_schedule[l] is the time chosen for Fusion at level l
base_samples	list of length (1/start_beta), where base_samples[[c]] contains the samples for the c-th node in the level
L	total number of levels in the hierarchy
mean	mean value
sd	standard deviation value
start_beta	beta for the base level
precondition	either a logical value to determine if preconditioning values are used (TRUE - and is set to be the variance of the sub-posterior samples) or not (FALSE - and is set to be 1 for all sub-posteriors), or a list of length (1/start_beta) where precondition[[c]] is the preconditioning value for sub-posterior c. Default is TRUE
resampling_method	method to be used in resampling, default is multinomial resampling ('multi'). Other choices are stratified resampling ('strat'), systematic resampling ('system'), residual resampling ('resid')
ESS_threshold	number between 0 and 1 defining the proportion of the number of samples that ESS needs to be lower than for resampling (i.e. resampling is carried out only when ESS < N*ESS_threshold)
diffusion_estimator	choice of unbiased estimator for the Exact Algorithm between "Poisson" (default) for Poisson estimator and "NB" for Negative Binomial estimator
beta_NB	beta parameter for Negative Binomial estimator (default 10)
gamma_NB_n_points	number of points used in the trapezoidal estimation of the integral found in the mean of the negative binomial estimator (default is 2)
seed	seed number - default is NULL, meaning there is no seed
n_cores	number of cores to use

Value

A list with components:

particles

list of length (L-1), where particles[[l]][[i]] are the particles for level l, node i

proposed_samples

list of length (L-1), where proposed_samples[[l]][[i]] are the proposed samples for level l, node i

time

list of length (L-1), where time[[l]][[i]] is the run time for level l, node i

ESS

list of length (L-1), where ESS[[l]][[i]] is the effective sample size of the particles after each step BEFORE deciding whether or not to resample for level l, node i

CESS

list of length (L-1), where CESS[[l]][[i]] is the conditional effective sample size of the particles after each step

resampled

list of length (L-1), where resampled[[l]][[i]] is a boolean value to record if the particles were resampled after each step; rho and Q for level l, node i

precondition_values

preconditioning values used in the algorithm for each node

diffusion_times

vector of length (L-1), where diffusion_times[l] are the times for fusion in level l
