Kinetic energy choice in Hamiltonian/hybrid Monte Carlo
We consider how different choices of kinetic energy in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo affect algorithm performance. To this end, we introduce two quantities which can be easily evaluated, the composite gradient and the implicit noise. Results are established on

Abstract Seismic subsurface characterization involves interpreting seismic records to delineate geological features and estimate the physical properties of subsurface rocks (such as lithofacies, porosity, and fluid saturation). As an effective remote sensing technology to characterize the large‐scale spatial distribution of subsurface properties ...

Friction force microscopy using diamond tips on epitaxial graphene supported by SiC(0001) shows a sharp friction increase. Silicon tips show similar behavior but at lower threshold forces. Atomistic simulations reveal three different friction regimes as normal pressure rises: graphene‐tip interfacial slip, graphene‐tip bonding, and a reversible ...

Statistical disaggregation—A Monte Carlo approach for imputation under constraints
Abstract Equality‐constrained models naturally arise in problems in which the measurements are taken at different levels of resolution. The challenge in this setting is that the models usually induce a joint distribution which is intractable. Resorting to instead sampling from the joint distribution by means of a Monte Carlo approach is also ...

A Comparison of Bead‐Spring and Site‐Binding Models for Weak Polyelectrolytes
This study compares a site‐binding model with an implicit salt solution treatment to an explicit bead‐spring model to obtain titration curves of small weak polyelectrolytes. The implicit model accurately predicts ionization profiles in weak coupling (small Bjerrum lengths) but overestimates ionization correlations among acid groups in strong coupling ...

An Efficient Bayesian Inference Framework for Coalescent-Based Nonparametric Phylodynamics
Phylodynamics focuses on the problem of reconstructing past population size dynamics from current genetic samples taken from the population of interest.

Improving the Convergence of Markov Chains via Permutations and Projections
ABSTRACT This paper aims at improving the convergence to equilibrium of finite ergodic Markov chains via permutations and projections. First, we prove that a specific mixture of permuted Markov chains arises naturally as a projection under the KL divergence or the squared‐Frobenius norm.

Abstract We analyze differences in consumption and wealth in an estimated New Keynesian model with rational and boundedly rational households. Shocks are shown to cause consumption and wealth heterogeneity due to the “rationality bias” of boundedly rational households. This bias can be decomposed into three components, which, for certain specifications

Parallel Excluded Volume Tempering for Polymer Melts
We have developed a technique to accelerate the acquisition of effectively uncorrelated configurations for off-lattice models of dense polymer melts which makes use of both parallel tempering and large scale Monte Carlo moves.
