Scalable Metropolis-Hastings for exact Bayesian inference with large datasets

Abstract:

Bayesian inference via standard Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods such as Metropolis-Hastings is too computationally intensive to handle large datasets, since the cost per step usually scales like O(n) in the number of data points n. We propose the Scalable Metropolis-Hastings (SMH) kernel that only requires processing on average O(1) or even O(1/n−−√) data points per step. This scheme is based on a combination of factorized acceptance probabilities, procedures for fast simulation of Be...
