2 Agenda Numerical Integration: MCMC methods Estimating Markov Chains Estimating latent variables 2 / 1

3 Numerical Integration: Part II Quadrature for one to a few dimensions feasible for well-behaved distributions For many-dimensional integrals, we typically use Markov chain Monte Carlo There are many different methods I discuss a simple one (Gibbs Sampling) and a more complex one (Metropolis-Hastings) This is a prominent problem in Bayesian analysis 3 / 1

4 The Problem Say your data is summarized by a two-dimensional problem: height and weight f (x 1, x 2 ) You want a population, for i (1,..., n), (x i 1, x i 2 ) You have access to the conditional marginal distributions. That is, while f (x 1, x 2 ) is ugly, f (x 1 x 2 ) and f (x 2 x 1 ) are easy to sample from. 4 / 1

5 Gibbs Sampling 1. Start with (x 0 1, x 0 2 ) 2. Sample x 1 1 f (x 1 x 0 2 ) 3. Sample x 1 2 f (x 2 x 1 1 ) 4. We have a LLN and CLT that states that: 1 N N g(x i ) i=1 g(x)f (x)dx 5 / 1

6 Gibbs Sampling: Example Assume a distribution: x N (0, Σ) Σ = [ 1 ρ ρ 1 Then we can get the conditional marginal distributions: Iteratively sample from these. x 1 x 2 N ( ρx 2, (1 ρ) 2) x 2 x 1 N ( ρx 1, (1 ρ) 2) ] See Gibbs.m 6 / 1

27 Metropolis Hastings What if we can only evaluate likelihood at a given point? 1. We start with some (multi-dimensional) value x i and a proposal distribution g(x x i ) 2. Grab a new sample from our proposal distribution: x g(x x i ) 3. Calculate acceptance probability: { pr(x i, x ) = min 1, f (x ) g(x i x } ) f (x i ) g(x, x i ) 4. Accept the new value with probability pr(x i, x ), otherwise, stay there. 5. This again converges in distribution to the true distribution. 27 / 1

28 A convenient proposal density If our proposal density is symmetric g(x i x ) = g(x, x i ) This is called random-walk Metropolis-Hastings Our acceptance probability is easy: { pr(x i, x ) = min 1, f (x } ) f (x i ) 28 / 1

29 Metropolis-Hastings: Example Let s say our distribution is one-dimensional: x 0.5U(0, 1) U( 1, 2) U(0.5, 0.75) Choose sampling distribution centered around current point: g(x x) N (x, 0.1) 29 / 1

62 Why learn MH & Numerical Integration? Many-dimensional problems Bayesian estimation Write down model Write down distribution of parameters f (θ) Simulate many models to get model distribution of data f (x θ) Update your beliefs: f (θ x) f (θ)f (x θ) Typically need to draw from posterior distribution without an analytical calculation Use M-H 62 / 1

63 Aside: Multiple Hypothesis Testing and Maximum F-Statistics Data is tortured. When you see.....an experiment with multiple test groups or with without very strong theoretical justification, be skeptical!...a regression that could have been run differently, or with many potential controls, weighting options, and unit-of-observation choices, be skeptical! Not all bad: t-statistics might just be heuristics...when I see 0.01 in a regression where I could imagine 10 other setups, I know the real p-value is around 0.1. But we might want to take statistics seriously, or data-mine honestly We can simulate the distribution of the maximum F-statistic, or the maximum t-statistic. See MonteCarlo.do and similar exercises (Note: Stata!) 63 / 1
