Thus, the simulation is possible even if the number of [[parameter]]s in the [[Mathematical model|model]] is not known.
 
Let
 
:<math>n_m\in N_m=\{1,2,\ldots,I\} \, </math>
 
be a model [[indicator variable|indicator]] and <math>M=\bigcup_{n_m=1}^I \R^{d_m}</math> the parameter space whose number of dimensions <math>d_m</math> depends on the model <math>n_m</math>. The model indication need not be [[Wikt:finite|finite]]. The stationary distribution is the joint posterior distribution of <math>(M,N_m)</math> that takes the values <math>(m,n_m)</math>.
 
The proposal <math>m'</math> can be constructed with a [[map (mathematics)|mapping]] <math>g_{1mm'}</math> of <math>m</math> and <math>u</math>, where <math>u</math> is drawn from a random component
<math>U</math> with density <math>q</math> on <math>\R^{d_{mm'}}</math>. The move to state <math>(m',n_m')</math> can thus be formulated as
 
:<math>
  (m',n_m')=(g_{1mm'}(m,u),n_m') \,
</math>
 
The function
 
:<math>
  g_{mm'}:=\Bigg((m,u)\mapsto \bigg((m',u')=\big(g_{1mm'}(m,u),g_{2mm'}(m,u)\big)\bigg)\Bigg) \,
</math>
 
must be ''one to one'' and differentiable, and have a non-zero support:
 
:<math> \mathrm{supp}(g_{mm'})\ne \varnothing \, </math>
 
so that there exists an [[inverse function]]
 
:<math>g^{-1}_{mm'}=g_{m'm} \, </math>
 
that is differentiable. Therefore, the <math>(m,u)</math> and <math>(m',u')</math> must be of equal dimension, which is the case if the dimension criterion
 
:<math>d_m+d_{mm'}=d_{m'}+d_{m'm} \, </math>
 
is met where <math>d_{mm'}</math> is the dimension of <math>u</math>. This is known as ''dimension matching''.  
 
If <math>\R^{d_m}\subset \R^{d_{m'}}</math> then the dimensional matching
condition can be reduced to
 
:<math>d_m+d_{mm'}=d_{m'} \, </math>
 
with
 
:<math>(m,u)=g_{m'm}(m). \, </math>
 
The acceptance probability will be given by
 
:<math>
  a(m,m')=\min\left(1,
  \frac{p_{m'm}p_{m'}f_{m'}(m')}{p_{mm'}q_{mm'}(m,u)p_{m}f_m(m)}\left|\det\left(\frac{\partial g_{mm'}(m,u)}{\partial (m,u)}\right)\right|\right),
</math>
 
where <math>|\cdot |</math> denotes the absolute value and <math>p_mf_m</math> is the joint posterior probability
 
:<math>
  p_mf_m=c^{-1}p(y|m,n_m)p(m|n_m)p(n_m), \,
</math>
 
where <math>c</math> is the normalising constant.

Emilia Shryock is my title but you can call me something you like. Bookkeeping is my occupation. Puerto Rico is exactly where he's usually been residing but she requirements to move simply because of her family. What I adore performing is taking part in baseball but I haven't produced a dime with it.
