Cruising The Simplex: Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and the Dirichlet Distribution
M. J. Betancourt
Due to its constrained support, the Dirichlet distribution is uniquely suited to many applications. The constraints that make it powerful, however, can also hinder practical implem…

A Bayesian Approach To Histogram Comparison
M. J. Betancourt
Determining if two histograms are consistent, whether they have been drawn from the same underlying distribution or not, is a common problem in physics. Existing approaches are not…

Nested Sampling with Constrained Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
M. J. Betancourt
Nested sampling is a powerful approach to Bayesian inference ultimately limited by the computationally demanding task of sampling from a heavily constrained probability distributio…
