What is recorded here?
Generalized the Metropolis construction through proposal probabilities and acceptance ratios chosen to preserve a target distribution, while treating dependence and estimation error in Markov-chain samples.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The normalizing constant can cancel from the ratio, but validity still depends on the chain and target assumptions. Correlated draws are not independent samples, and detailed balance does not supply a finite-time mixing guarantee.
