StudentTMetropolis

StudentTMetropolis[logpdf, x0, s, V, n]
generates n udpates. The target distribution p[x] is provided by logpdf[x] = Log[p[x]], and the symmetric proprosal distribution is the student T distribution with mean being the current value, (co)variance s^2 V, and degree infinity.
  • To use StudentTMetropolis, you first need to load the Metropolis package using Needs["Metropolis`"].
  • Each update is given by {x, logpdf[x], 1/0 (accept/not), Min[1,Metropolis-Hastings ratio]}.
