Adaptive Metropolis Hastings samplers use information obtained from previous draws to tune the proposal distribution automatically and repeatedly. Adaptation needs to be done carefully to ensure convergence to the correct target distribution because the resulting chain is not Markovian. We construct an adaptive independent Metropolis-Hastings sampler that uses a mixture of normals as a proposal distribution. To take full advantage of the potential of adaptive sampling our algorithm updates the mixture of normals frequently, starting early in the chain. The algorithm is built for speed and reliability and its sampling performance is evaluated with real and simulated examples. Our article outlines conditions for adaptive sampling to hold. An online supplement to the article gives a proof of convergence and Gauss code to implement the algorithms.
