Diffusive Limits for Adaptive MCMC for Normal Target densities

Abstract

In this paper we apply the Diffusion approximation procedure to a discrete time Adaptive Markov Chain Monte Carlo (AMCMC) method when the target distribution is standard Normal. We show that the limiting distribution of the diffusion admits a density which we identify as the standard Normal distribution.
