Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with Missing Data
Hamiltonian Monte Carlo with missing data extends the gradient-based HMC sampler to handle incomplete observations by treating missing values as additional unknown parameters. The posterior over model parameters and missing values is sampled jointly in one efficient pass, exploiting gradient information to explore the high-dimensional joint space with far fewer rejected proposals than random-walk MCMC.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
