Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Asymmetrical Momentum Distributions

arXiv:2110.12907v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Existing rigorous convergence guarantees for the Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm use Gaussian auxiliary momentum variables, which are crucially symmetrically distributed. We present a novel c…
