The AutoMix package is a C program for Unix-like systems, implementing
the automatic reversible jump MCMC sampler of the same name
described in Chapters 4, 5, and 6 of David Hastie's Ph.D. thesis
The AutoMix sampler is free for personal and academic use, but users must
reference the sampler as:
Hastie, D. I. (2005) Towards Automatic Reversible Jump Markov
Chain Monte Carlo, Ph.D. Thesis, Statistics Group, University
of Bristol.
For commercial use permission must be sought from the author.
To seek permission for such use please send an e-mail (using the Contact Me
link in left hand menu) outlining the desired usage.
Use of the AutoMix sampler is entirely at the user's own risk. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that any conclusions made through the
use of the AutoMix sampler are valid. The author accepts no responsibility
whatsoever for any loss, financial or otherwise, that may arise in
connection with the use of the sampler.
The sampler may be modified and redistributed as desired but the author
encourages users to register at the above site so that notice can be
received of updates of the software.
Before use, please read the README file bundled with this software.
The package distributed consists of:
| Description |
Filenames |
| main C source file |
automix.c |
| auxiliary routines in C |
gammafns.c, sd.c, sokal.c |
| makefile |
Makefile |
| example user files |
usertoy1.c, usertoy2.c, usercpt.c, usercptrs.c, userrb9.c, userddi.c |
| readme file |
README.txt |
The package is provided as both a gzipped tarfile and as a compressed
windows archive. For a free Unix-like shell that runs under Windows,
we suggest Cygwin (http:\\www.cygwin.com).
The program has been run successfully:
- using GNU compilers and Cygwin under Windows on Intel PCs
- using GNU compilers on Sun Workstations
We believe that with the appropriate changes to the Makefile the
program will run as required on other platforms. If you run the
program successfully under another platform please inform the author
so this file can be updated.
To download the AutoMix software please complete the form below. This
will allow us to monitor the popularity of the sampler, but more importantly
will enable us to e-mail you if there are any significant updates to the
sampler. Fields marked with a * must be completed otherwise you will
not be able to receive the download.
