Modeling spatial patterns of mixed-species Appalachian forests with Gibbs point processes
… in particular, a reversible-jump Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with birth, death, and shift proposals was utilized. Parameters for the models were estimated by a Bayesian inferential procedure that utilizes MCMC methods to draw samples from the Gibbs posterior density. Two Metropolis-Hastings …

Robert Baylor Semple His Contributions to Calfornia Hisotry, 1845-1854
… the second emigration party led by Lansford W. Hastings. In one sense, Semple was a typical American pioneer of that mass migration movement of the 1840's. Viewed in another light, he possessed certain gifts of leadership and talent that seem to have set him apart from his fellow pioneers. Not …

Bayesian analysis of finite mixture distributions using the allocation sampler
… and Gelfand and Smith (1990)) and the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm (Hastings (1970)). However, the number of components in the model can also be considered an unknown and an object of inference. Richardson and Green (1997) and Stephens (2000a) both describe Bayesian methods to sample across …
