Abstract
An intriguing new class of piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) has recently been proposed as an alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). We propose a new class of PDMPs termed Gibbs zig-zag samplers, which allow parameters to be updated in blocks with a zig-zag sampler applied to certain parameters and traditional MCMC-style updates to others. We demonstrate the flexibility of this framework on posterior sampling for logistic models with shrinkage priors for high-dimensional regression and random effects, and provide conditions for geometric ergodicity and the validity of a central limit theorem.
