There are many ways of constructing the proposal distributions for the importance sampling algorithm (Griffiths and Tavaré, 1994b; Stephens et al. 2001; Paul et al. 2011).
This fall, CVS worked with the Pepsi Refresh Project to give $70,000 to construct the playground proposal from the public that had won the most votes on the project's Web site.
An implementation challenge for RJMCMC is the lack of a general way to construct the jump proposals such that detailed balance is preserved [ 42].
When one substitutes conventional floating-point arithmetic for real arithmetic in a computer and uses discrete lattices to construct the envelope and/or proposal, it is generally not possible to guarantee the envelope property, and thereby ensure that samples are drawn from the desired target density, except in special cases [ 35].
The original velodrome on the site was demolished to make way for the Périphérique, but the city council approved a proposal to construct the road under a newly-built football stadium, though the exact chronology isn't entirely clear.
In January 1924 the Commonwealth Government's Cabinet approved a proposal to construct the War Memorial at the foot of Mount Ainslie in Canberra.
"We're going to fight tooth and nail to stop the project". He is among a growing number of business owners and residents pushing back against Clippers owner Steve Ballmer's proposal to construct the "state of the art" arena with 18,000 to 20,000 seats alongside a practice facility, team offices and parking.
Two essential ingredients of the algorithm are: 1) a Gaussian mixture (GM) model adaptively constructed as the proposal distribution to approximate the possibly multimodal target posterior, and 2) a mixture of polynomial chaos (PC) expansions, built according to the GM proposal, as a surrogate model to alleviate the computational burden caused by computational-demanding forward model evaluations.
However, Route 92 was shelved on December 1, 2006 in favor of widening the New Jersey Turnpike mainline, and only New Jersey Route 133 was constructed for the proposal.
A series of Arabidopsis circadian clock models were constructed following the proposal of its molecular network.
