The Hamming Ball Sampler

We introduce the Hamming ball sampler, a novel Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm, for efficient inference in statistical models involving high-dimensional discrete state spaces. The sampling scheme uses an auxiliary variable construction that adaptively truncates the model space allowing iterative...
