Is MCMC an algorithm?
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are a class of algorithms for sampling from a probability distribution based on constructing a Markov chain that has the desired distribution as its stationary distribution. The state of the chain after a number of steps is then used as a sample of the desired distribution.
Is MCMC always Bayesian?
MCMC methods are generally used on Bayesian models which have subtle differences to more standard models. As most statistical courses are still taught using classical or frequentist methods we need to describe the differences before going on to consider MCMC methods.
What is MCMC used for?
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations allow for parameter estimation such as means, variances, expected values, and exploration of the posterior distribution of Bayesian models. To assess the properties of a “posterior”, many representative random values should be sampled from that distribution.
