摘要	Multilevel Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (Multilevel HMC) combines the variance-reduction strategy of multilevel Monte Carlo with the efficient gradient-driven exploration of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. By running coupled HMC chains at increasing levels of model fidelity or discretisation, it achieves accurate posterior estimates at a computational cost substantially lower than a single fine-level HMC chain.	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.
