摘要

MonteCarlo algorithms often aim to draw from a distribution pi by simulating a Markov chain with transition kernel P such that pi is invariant under P. However, there are many situations for which it is impractical or impossible to draw from the transition kernel P. For instance, this is the case with massive datasets, where is it prohibitively expensive to calculate the likelihood and is also the case for intractable likelihood models arising from, for example, Gibbs random fields, such as those found in spatial statistics and network analysis. A natural approach in these cases is to replace P by an approximation (P) over cap. Using theory from the stability of Markov chains we explore a variety of situations where it is possible to quantify how 'close' the chain given by the transition kernel (P) over cap is to the chain given by P. We apply these results to several examples from spatial statistics and network analysis.
