Towards optimality of the parallel tempering algorithm

Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques for sampling from complex probability distributions have become mainstream. Big data and high model complexity demand more scalable and robust algorithms. A famous problem with MCMC is making it robust to situations when the target distribution is multi-mod...
