We consider the Random Walk Metropolis algorithm on ℝn with Gaussian proposals, and when the target probability measure is the n-fold product of a one-dimensional law. It is well known (see Roberts et ...

The Metropolis algorithm for Monte Carlo methods, the simplex method in linear programming, the Fast Fourier Transform for analyzing and manipulating digital data, and the Quicksort algorithm fit into ...

Accurate and fast estimation of genetic parameters that underlie quantitative traits using mixed linear models with additive and dominance effects is of great importance in both natural and breeding ...
