Multilevel Gibbs Sampling/Evidence
Method evidence record

Multilevel Gibbs Sampling

Multilevel Gibbs sampling applies the Gibbs MCMC algorithm to hierarchical (multilevel) Bayesian models, cycling through the conditional distributions of group-level parameters and population-level hyperparameters in turn. This exploits the conditional independence structure of the hierarchy to draw exact or near-exact samples from a posterior that would otherwise be analytically intractable.

Curated claims

Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.

No curated claims yet

This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
