The recent generalization of the Fortuin-Kasteleyn percolation representation and the Swendsen-Wang (SW) cluster algorithm is reviewed. The new representation yields cluster algorithm for the XYZ model with arbitrary magnitude of spins, with arbitrary anisotropies, and in any dimensions. The new algorithm often reduces computational autocorrelation times by several orders of magnitude. By using the new algorithm together with methods of Bayesian statistical inference, we obtained the dynamical structure factor S (k, ω) for the S =1/2 XY model in two dimensions.
