Introduced by Nicholas G. Polson et al. in Bayesian inference for logistic models using Polya-Gamma latent variables

archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.

This method applies Polya-Gamma latent variables as a way to obtain closed form expressions for full-conditionals of posterior distributions in sampling algorithms like MCMC.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28

Papers per year the archive tags with this method, by the paper's archive date (6 dated). Bars are counts, not a trend claim.

Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
