Diagnosing Suboptimal Cotangent Disintegrations in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
read the original abstract
When properly tuned, Hamiltonian Monte Carlo scales to some of the most challenging high-dimensional problems at the frontiers of applied statistics, but when that tuning is suboptimal the performance leaves much to be desired. In this paper I show how suboptimal choices of one critical degree of freedom, the cotangent disintegration, manifest in readily observed diagnostics that facilitate the robust application of the algorithm.

Granulation signatures as seen by Kepler short-cadence data. II. A hierarchical route to inferring stellar radii from granulation
Bayesian hierarchical regression on granulation parameters from 363 stars yields radius estimates with ~10% precision that recover reference values within 1σ for 73% of an independent 367-star sample.
