From the Gaussian process perspective a multioutput Mercer kernel is a covariance function over correlated output functions. One way of constructing such kernels is based on convolution processes (CP). A key problem for this approach is efficient inference. Alvarez and

Simultaneous sampling of several input channels is needed to avoid the propagation of initial mea- surement errors. However, this is usually not guaranteed by the acquisition hardware, due to the additional expense involved. The alternative is to correct the error caused by non-simultane ous sampling using digital signal processing tech- niques.

In this context, we demonstrate a sequential algorithm for prediction whose accumulated squared error for every bounded sequence is asymptotically as small as that of the best fixed predictor for that sequence taken from the class of piecewise linear predictors. We also show that this predictor is optimal in certain settings in a particular min-max sense. This approach can also be applied to the class of piecewise constant predictors, for which a similar universal sequential algorithm can be derived with corresponding min-max optimality.

Each sample is then assigned an importance weight that can be obtained according to different strategies. This work is motivated by the trade-off between variance reduction and computational complexity of the different approaches (classical vs. deterministic mixture) available for the weight calculation. A new method that achieves an efficient compromise between both factors is introduced in this paper. It is based on forming a partition of the set of proposal distributions and computing the weights accordingly. Computer simulations show the excellent performance of the associated partial deterministic mixture MIS estimator.

ARMS is widely used within Gibbs sampling, where automatic and fast samplers are often needed to draw from univariate full-conditional densities. In this work, we propose an alternative adaptive algorithm (IA 2 RMS) that overcomes the main drawback of ARMS (an uncomplete adaptation of the proposal in some cases), speeding up the convergence of the chain to the target. Numerical results show that IA 2 RMS outperforms the standard ARMS, providing a correlation among samples close to zero.

In this work, an error bound is obtained for Lagrange interpolation filters as a function of the oversampling ratio of the input signals, the fractional delay, and the filter's order. This bound can be used to ensure that the error is

An important class of MC methods is composed of importance sampling (IS) and its adaptive extensions, such as population Monte Carlo (PMC) and adaptive multiple IS (AMIS). In this work, we introduce a novel adaptive and iterated importance sampler using a population of proposal densities. The proposed algorithm, named adaptive population importance sampling (APIS), provides a global estimation of the variables of interest iteratively, making use of all the samples previously generated. APIS combines a sophisticated scheme to build the IS estimators (based on the deterministic mixture approach) with a simple temporal adaptation (based on epochs). In this way, APIS is able to keep all the advantages of both AMIS and PMC, while minimizing their drawbacks. Furthermore, APIS is easily parallelizable. The cloud of proposals is adapted in such a way that local features of the target density can be better taken into account compared to single global adaptation procedures. The result is a fast, simple, robust and high-performance algorithm applicable to a wide range of problems. Numerical results show the advantages of the proposed sampling scheme in four synthetic examples and a localization problem in a wireless sensor network.
