Robust Markov chain Monte Carlo/Evidence
Method evidence record

Robust Markov chain Monte Carlo

Robust MCMC combines Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling with robustness techniques to produce reliable posterior inference when data contain outliers, when the assumed model is misspecified, or when the target distribution has heavy tails that cause standard samplers to mix poorly or yield distorted estimates.
