Reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a statistical method used for Bayesian model selection and parameter estimation that allows for transitions between models of different dimensionalities. It enables the sampler to explore models with varying numbers of parameters by using reversible jumps to switch between them while maintaining the overall distribution. This technique is particularly useful in scenarios where one needs to compare models that could have different numbers of parameters, ensuring a flexible approach to Bayesian inference.
congrats on reading the definition of reversible jump mcmc. now let's actually learn it.
