10 PIMS-MITACS Three-Move Metropolis Hastings Choose one of 3 moves with probability ζ p,p= 1, 2, 3 Transition probabilities {Pr (p) (X t+1 = σ t+1 X t = σ t )} 3 p=1 (reversible w.r.t. Pr(σ v)). Overall transition probability is Pr(X t+1 = σ t+1 X t = σ t ) 3X = ζ p Pr (p) (X t+1 = σ t+1 X t = σ t ). p=1 If at least one of the moves is irreducible on Σ Ω, then the equilibrium distribution is Pr(σ v). Apixeln is a near-neighbour of pixel m if their lattice distance is less than 8. An update-edge is a pair of near-neighbouring pixels of unequal conductivity. ( N (σ), Nm(σ) ) Move 1Flipapixel. Select a pixel m at random and assign σ m a new conductivity σ 0 m chosen uniformly at random from the other C 1 conductivity values. Move 2Flip a pixel near a conductivity boundary. Pick an update-edge at random from N (σ). Pick one of the two pixels in that edge at random, pixel m say.proceedasinmove1. Move 3Swap conductivities at a pair of pixels. Pick an updateedge at random from N (σ). Setσ 0 m = σ n and σ 0 n = σ m.
