Robust adaptive Metropolis algorithm with coerced acceptance rate

The adaptive Metropolis (AM) algorithm of Haario, Saksman and Tamminen (Bernoulli 7(2):223-242, 2001) uses the estimated covariance of the target distribution in the proposal distribution. This paper introduces a new robust adaptive Metropolis algorithm estimating the shape of the target distributio...
