Posterior exploration for computationally intensive forward models
Abstract
In this chapter, we address the challenge of exploring the posterior distributions of Bayesian inverse problems with computationally intensive forward models. We consider various multivariate proposal distributions, and compare them with single-site Metropolis updates. We show how fast, approximate models can be leveraged to improve the MCMC sampling efficiency.
