minimc
Just a little MCMC
This is a test library to provide reference implementations of MCMC algorithms and ideas. The basis and reference for much of this library is from Michael Betancourt's wonderful A Conceptual Introduction to Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.
The highlight of the library right now is the ~15 line Hamiltonian Monte Carlo implementation (which relies on an 8 line integrator). Both of these are commented and documented, but aim to be instructive to read.
Currently Implemented
- Step size tuning
- Leapfrog integrator
- Hamiltonian Monte Carlo
- Some log probabilities (normal, multivariate normal, mixtures, funnel)
Roadmap
- Divergences
- Mass matrix adaptation
- Diagnostics
- NUTS
- Empirical HMC
- Riemannian Manifold HMC Girolami & Calderhead and Betancourt
Installation
I would suggest cloning this and playing with the source code, but it can be pip installed with
pip install git+git://github.com/colcarroll/minimc.gitExamples
The API of minimc is mimicked in minimc.minimc_slow, which returns trajectories instead of just samples. This makes for nicer images and experiments, but it is a bit slower.
