EntropyMCMC: MCMC Simulation and Convergence Evaluation using Entropy and Kullback-Leibler Divergence Estimation

Tools for Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation and performance analysis. Simulate MCMC algorithms including adaptive MCMC, evaluate their convergence rate, and compare candidate MCMC algorithms for a same target density, based on entropy and Kullback-Leibler divergence criteria. MCMC algorithms can be simulated using provided functions, or imported from external codes. This package is based upon work starting with Chauveau, D. and Vandekerkhove, P. (2013) <doi:10.1051/ps/2012004> and next articles.
