ICML 2026poster

Importance sampling is a Monte Carlo method which designs estimators of expectations under a target distribution using weighted samples from a proposal distribution. When the target distribution is complex, such as multimodal distributions in high-dimensional spaces, the efficiency of importance sam…

Calibration of conditional composite likelihood for Bayesian inference on Gibbs random fields

Julien Stoehr, Nial Friel

AISTATS 2015poster

Gibbs random fields play an important role in statistics, however, the resulting likelihood is typically unavailable due to an intractable normalizing constant. Composite likelihoods offer a principled means to construct useful approximations. This paper provides a mean to calibrate the posterior di…
