The Balanced Up-Down Walk
Preprint · February 12, 2026 Link to item CiteA Cycle Walk for Sampling Measures on Spanning Forests for Redistricting
Preprint · September 10, 2025 We introduce the Cycle Walk, a new Markov chain Monte Carlo method for sampling distributions on balanced graph partitions, motivated by applications in political redistricting. The method operates on spanning forests and combines two types of updates: loc ... Link to item CiteMULTISCALE PARALLEL TEMPERING FOR FAST SAMPLING ON REDISTRICTING PLANS
Journal article Multiscale Modeling and Simulation · January 1, 2025 When auditing a redistricting plan, a persuasive method is to compare the plan with an ensemble of neutrally drawn redistricting plans. Ensembles are generated via algorithms that sample distributions on balanced graph partitions. To audit the partisan dif ... Full text Open Access CiteEducation
