Heat Bath Efficiency with Metropolis-Type Updating
arXiv:hep-lat/0503006 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.71.114506
Abstract
We illustrate for 4D SU(2) and U(1) lattice gauge theory that sampling with a biased Metropolis scheme is essentially equivalent to using the heat bath algorithm. Only, the biased Metropolis method can also be applied when an efficient heat bath algorithm does not exist.
