    On the ergodicity of the adaptive Metropolis algorithm on unbounded domains (English)
    27 December 2010
    The authors describe sufficient conditions to ensure the correct ergodicity of the adaptive Metropolis algorithm for target distributions with a noncompact support; see \textit{H.~Haario}, \textit{E.~Saksman}, and \textit{J.~Tamminen} [Bernoulli 7, No.~2, 223--242 (2001; Zbl 0989.65004)]; see also \textit{C.~Andrieu} and \textit{É.~Moulines} [Ann. Appl. Probab. 16, No.~3, 1462--1505 (2006; Zbl 1114.65001)]. The work is essentially self-contained, and assumes little background knowledge.
