Let be the set of all matrices, where and are the sums of entries in row and column , respectively. Sampling efficiently uniformly at random elements of is a problem with interesting applications in Combinatorics and Statistics. To calibrate the statistic for testing independence, Diaconis and Gangolli proposed a Markov chain on that samples uniformly at random contingency tables of fixed row and column sums. Although the scheme works well for practical purposes, no formal proof is available on its rate of convergence. By using a canonical path argument, we prove that this Markov chain is fast mixing and the mixing time is given by where is the maximal value in a cell. |
