This paper studies several different plans for selecting coordinates for updating via Gibbs sampling. It exploits the inherent features of the Gibbs sampling formulation, most notably its neighborhood ...

Capture-recapture models are widely used in the estimation of population sizes. Based on data augmentation considerations, we show how Gibbs sampling can be applied to calculate Bayes estimates in ...

Accurate and fast estimation of genetic parameters that underlie quantitative traits using mixed linear models with additive and dominance effects is of great importance in both natural and breeding ...
