This article introduces a method for performing fully Bayesian inference for nonlinear conditional autoregressive continuous-time models, based on a finite skeleton of observations. Our approach uses Markov chain Monte Carlo and involves imputing data from times at which observations are not...

The major implementational problem for reversible jump Markov chain Monte Carlo methods is that there is commonly no natural way to choose jump proposals since there is no Euclidean structure in the parameter space to guide our choice. We consider mechanisms for guiding the choice of proposal....

Kernel density estimation is an important tool in visualizing posterior densities from Markov chain Monte Carlo output. It is well known that when smooth transition densities exist, the asymptotic properties of the estimator agree with those for independent data. In this paper, we show that...
