== Slice-within-Gibbs sampling ==
In a [[Gibbs sampling|Gibbs sampler]], one needs to draw efficiently from all the full-conditional distributions. When sampling from a full-conditional density is not easy, a single iteration of slice sampling or the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm can be used within-Gibbs to sample from the variable in question. If the full-conditional density is log-concave, a more efficient alternative is the application of [[Rejection sampling|adaptive rejection sampling]] (ARS) methods.<ref>{{Cite journal|title = Adaptive Rejection Sampling for Gibbs Sampling|jstor = 2347565|journal = Journal of the Royal Statistical Society.
