This paper proposes a new adaptive MCMC algorithm called Variational Bayesian adaptive Metropolis (VBAM). The VBAM algorithm updates the proposal covariance matrix using Variational Bayesian adaptive Kalman filter (VB-AKF). In simulated experiments, VBAM performed better than the adaptive Metropolis (AM) algorithm. In real data examples, VBAM produced results consistent with literature. The advantage of VBAM is that it has more parameters to tune, allowing more flexibility.
