Bayesian Statistics
Step size refers to the magnitude of the incremental change in parameters during the sampling process in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. It plays a crucial role in determining how far the algorithm moves through the parameter space at each iteration, directly affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the sampling. A well-chosen step size can help achieve better exploration of the target distribution while balancing the trade-off between acceptance rate and convergence speed.
congrats on reading the definition of step size. now let's actually learn it.
