摘要:

我们研究了线性潜在非高斯模型(LLnGMs)中Gibbs采样器的几何遍历性,这是一类分层模型,其中条件高斯结构通过广义逆高斯(GIG)方差混合增强得以保持。为边际链在混合变量上的几何遍历性,开发了两种互补的方法。首先,我们证明了相关的马尔可夫算子在GIG参数空间的大部分区域上是迹类的,因此具有谱间隙。其次,在剩余的边界和厚尾区域,我们通过漂移和次要性建立几何遍历性,前提是满足一个显式的null-smallness条件,该条件量化了漂移与观测算子的空心空间的相互作用。这些结果覆盖了整个GIG参数空间,包括正态逆高斯、广义非对称拉普拉斯和学生t分布的特殊情况。该链的几何遍历性支持了基于Gibbs的随机梯度估计器在最大似然估计中的一致性,并提供了使所需积分性检查透明的条件。数值实验展示了理论发现,对比了不同参数区域的混合效率,并探测了null-smallness常数的作用。

英文摘要:

We study geometric ergodicity of the Gibbs sampler for linear latent non-Gaussian models (LLnGMs), a class of hierarchical models in which conditional Gaussian structure is preserved through generalized inverse Gaussian (GIG) variance-mixture augmentation. Two complementary routes to geometric ergodicity are developed for the marginal chain on the mixing variables. First, we show that the associated Markov operator is trace-class, and hence admits a spectral gap, over a large portion of the GIG parameter space. Second, for the remaining boundary and heavy-tail regimes, we establish geometric ergodicity via drift and minorization, subject to an explicit null-smallness condition that quantifies how the drift interacts with the null space of the observation operator. Together, these results cover the full GIG parameter space, including the normal-inverse Gaussian, generalized asymmetric Laplace, and Student-$t$ special cases. The geometric ergodicity of this chain underpins the consistency of Gibbs-based stochastic-gradient estimators for maximum likelihood estimation, and we provide conditions that make the required integrability checks transparent. Numerical experiments illustrate the theoretical findings, contrasting mixing efficiency across parameter regimes and probing the role of the null-smallness constant.
