Hierarchical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo

Hierarchical Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (Hierarchical HMC) applies Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampling to Bayesian hierarchical models, addressing the severe geometric challenges those models pose. By combining non-centered parameterizations with HMC's gradient-driven proposals, it achieves efficient posterior exploration of the multi-level funnel-shaped geometries that standard MCMC methods struggle with.
