Bayesian inference and the analytic continuation of imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo data. (English) Zbl 0886.62029

Hanson, Kenneth M. (ed.) et al., Maximum entropy and Bayesian methods. Proceedings of the 15th international workshop, Santa Fe, NM, USA, July 31–August 4, 1995. Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers. Fundam. Theor. Phys. 79, 163-170 (1996).
Summary: We present a brief description of how methods of Bayesian inference are used to obtain real frequency information by the analytic continuation of imaginary-time quantum Monte Carlo data. We present the procedure we used, which is due to R. K. Bryan [Eur. Biophys. J. 18, 165-174 (1990)], and summarize several bottleneck issues.
