Recap: Importance Sampling Previous slide assumed we could evaluate P (x) = P (x)/z P Z E x p [f(x)] = x f(x)p(x) = Rx f(x) p(x) q(x) q(x) R x p(x) q(x) q(x) Let! ",,! % be samples from q(x). Z f(x)p(x) x Pl f(xl ) p(xl ) q(x l ) P l p(x l ) q(x l ) = LX f(x l )w l l=1 4

5 Recap: Particle Filters Apply the importance sampling to a temporal distribution!(# $:& ) General idea, change the proposal in each step: ( # & # $:& ) The recursion rule: Forward message: 5

6 Summary so far General ideas for the sampling approaches Proposal distribution (q(x)): Use another distribution to sample from. Change the proposal distribution with the iterations. Introduce an auxiliary variable to decide keeping a sample or not. Why should we discard samples? Sampling from high-dimension is difficult. Let s incorporate the graphical model into our sampling strategy. Can we use the gradient of the p(x)? 6

26 Definitions and Theoretical Justification for MCMC MARKOV CHAINS 28

27 MCMC Goal: Draw approximate, correlated samples from a target distribution p(x) MCMC: Performs a biased random walk to explore the distribution 29

28 Simulations of MCMC Visualization of Metroplis-Hastings, Gibbs Sampling, and Hamiltonian MCMC: 30

29 Metropolis-Hastings Sampling Consider this mixturefor the proposal Stay where you are Or. Sample from a distribution depends on current location (x) Of course! It should be a proper density! Choose between those options with a probability that depends on a proposed point and current point (0 # $ %, $ 1) 31

30 Metropolis-Hastings Sampling Consider this mixturefor the proposal Is it a proper density? 32

31 Metropolis-Hastings Sampling Consider this mixturefor the proposal How to choose!(#, #) and '((# ) #)? p(x) must be the Stationary distribution 33

32 Designing!(# $, #) MH acceptance function: 34

33 Designing!(# $, #) MH acceptance function: Detailed Balance: 35

34 Detailed Balance Detailed balance means that, for each pair of states x and x, arriving at x then x and arriving at x then x are equiprobable. x x x' x' 36

35 Figure from Bishop (2006) A choice for!(# #) For Metropolis-Hastings, a generic proposal distribution is: If ϵ is large, many rejections If ϵ is small, slow mixing q(x x (t) )=N (0, 2 ) max p(x) min q(x x (t) ) 37

36 Figure from Bishop (2006) A choice for!(# #) For Rejection Sampling, the accepted samples are are independent But for Metropolis-Hastings, the samples are correlated Question: How long must we wait to get effectively independent samples? min max q(x x (t) ) p(x) A: independent states in the M-H random walk are separated by roughly steps ( max / min ) 2 38

37 Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm 39

38 Practical Issues Question: Is it better to move along one dimension or many? Answer: For Metropolis-Hasings, it is sometimes better to sample one dimension at a time Q: Given a sequence of 1D proposals, compare rate of movement for one-at-a-time vs. concatenation. Answer: For Gibbs Sampling, sometimes better to sample a block of variables at a time Q: When is it tractable to sample a block of variables? 42

39 Practical Issues Question: How do we assess convergence of the Markov chain? Answer: It s not easy! Compare statistics of multiple independent chains Ex: Compare log-likelihoods Chain 1 Chain 2 Log-likelihood Log-likelihood # of MCMC steps # of MCMC steps 43

40 Practical Issues Question: How do we assess convergence of the Markov chain? Answer: It s not easy! Compare statistics of multiple independent chains Ex: Compare log-likelihoods Chain 1 Chain 2 Log-likelihood Log-likelihood # of MCMC steps # of MCMC steps 44

41 Practical Issues Question: Is one long Markov chain better than many short ones? Note: typical to discard initial samples (aka. burnin ) since the chain might not yet have mixed Answer: Often a balance is best: Compared to one long chain: More independent samples Compared to many small chains: Less samples discarded for burn-in We can still parallelize Allows us to assess mixing by comparing chains 45
