Unbiased Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with couplings

Unbiased Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with couplings

Summary We propose a method for parallelization of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo estimators. Our approach involves constructing a pair of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo chains that are coupled in such a way that they meet exactly after some random number of iterations. These chains can then be combined so that the resulting …
