Dynamic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Dynamic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo — widely known as the No-U-Turn Sampler (NUTS) — is an adaptive extension of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo that automatically selects the number of leapfrog integration steps during each MCMC transition, removing the need to hand-tune the most sensitive tuning parameter of standard HMC. It is the default sampler in Stan and PyMC and is suitable for continuous, differentiable posterior distributions of moderate to high dimension.
