Abstract

Pairwise interaction point processes with strong interaction are usually difficult to
sample. We discuss how Besag lattice processes can be used in a simulated tempering
MCMC scheme to help with the simulation of such processes. We show how
the N-fold way algorithm can be used to sample the lattice processes efficiently
and introduce the N-fold way algorithm into our simulated tempering scheme. To
calibrate the simulated tempering scheme we use the Wang-Landau algorithm.
