Summary

I’ve been studying Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and wrote a set of notes explaining HMC without relying on the usual physics-based motivation. The notes develop HMC from a probabilistic/MCMC perspective, starting from introducing an auxiliary variable, constructing the corresponding Markov chain, and the
