Abstract excerpt
Techniques from image processing are now being considered for use in pedigree analysis. Although the method that we develop here was motivated by considering it as an analogue to the Gibbs sampler, we justify it independently using the ergodic theorem for aperiodic, irreducible, finite Markov cha...
