Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the convergence rate of a collapsed Gibbs sampler for crossed random effects models. Our results apply to a substantially larger range of models than previous works, including models that incorporate missingness mechanism and unbalanced level data. The theoretical tools involved in our analysis include a connection between relaxation time and autoregression matrix, concentration inequalities, and random matrix theory.
