Computation for the Introduction to MCMC Chapter of Handbook of Markov Chain Monte Carlo

Abstract

This technical report does the computation for the “Introduction to MCMC” chapter of Brooks, Gelman, Jones and Meng (forthcoming). All analyses are done in R (R Development Core Team, 2008) using the Sweave function so this entire technical report and all of the analyses reported in it are exactly reproducible by anyone who has R with the mcmc package (Geyer, 2005) installed and the R noweb file specifying the document.
