Comment on "Sequential Monte Carlo for Bayesian Computation" (P. Del Moral, A. Doucet, A. Jasra)
Abstract
Description
The main question concerns another recent advance in sequential Monte Carlo, the use of a mixture transition kernel that automatically adapts to the target distribution (Douc et al. 2006). Is there a class of static inference problems for which the backward-kernel approach is better suited, or is it too early to predict which method may have better performance in a particular situation?
