Editing Gibbs sampling (section)

=== Other extensions ===
It is also possible to extend Gibbs sampling in various ways.  For example, in the case of variables whose conditional distribution is not easy to sample from, a single iteration of [[slice sampling]] or the [[Metropolis–Hastings algorithm]] can be used to sample from the variables in question.
It is also possible to incorporate variables that are not [[random variables]], but whose value is [[deterministically]] computed from other variables.  [[Generalized linear models]], e.g. [[logistic regression]] (aka "[[maximum entropy classifier|maximum entropy]] models"), can be incorporated in this fashion. (BUGS, for example, allows this type of mixing of models.)
