An excellent way to make code more maintainable is through loose coupling. As far back as 1994, when the Gang of Four wrote Design Patterns, this was already common knowledge: 2 Program to an interface, not an implementation.

The Metropolis Hastings algorithm has the advantage over the Gibbs Sampler, in that it is not necessary to know all of the conditional distributions, we need only simulate from q, which we can choose arbitrarily. Moreover, and this can be of crucial importance , we only need to know π up to proportionality, since any constants of proportionality cancel in the numerator and denominator of the calculation of α. The price for this simplicity is that if q is poorly chosen, then the numbe r of rejections can be high, so that the efficiency of the procedure can be low.

Given a set of Markov kernels, each with invariant distribution π , it can be shown that, under weak conditions on the kernels, a hybrid algorithm consisting of mixtures or cycles of these kernels will produce a chain with the desired stationary distribution.

8 Better Ways to Make and Study Flash Cards
kanji. Doing so helped me learn very quickly. You’re probably studying a subject right now that would benefit from flash card study as well, so it’d be useful to learn the best practices for mak<span>ing and studying those flash cards. In this article, I’ll go over 8 of those best practices. Let’s get into it. 1. Make Your Own Flash Cards Lots of people like to share their flash card decks, and there are also plenty o
