Roberts, Jeffrey S. Rosenthal This is a preprint; it has not been peer reviewed by a journal. https://doi.org/ 10.21203/rs.3.rs-1995506/v1 This work is licensed under a CC BY 4.0 License Status: Published Journal Publication published 31 Jan, 2023 Read the published version in Methodology and Computing in Applied Probability → Version 1 posted 4 You are reading this latest preprint version Abstract We consider piecewise-deterministic Markov processes such as the Bouncy Particle sampler, on target densities with polynomial tails. Using direct drift condition methods, we provide bounds on the polynomial order of the processes' convergence rate to stationary, on both one-dimensional and high-dimensional state spaces, in both total variation distance and f -norm.
