Abstract: Parameter inference is a fundamental problem in data-driven modeling. The aim is to find a so-called posterior distribution of model parameters that are able to explain observed data and can be used for making probabilistic predictions. We propose a novel, exact, very efficient and highly parallelizable Hamiltonian Monte Carlo approach for generating posterior parameter distributions, for stochastic models calibrated to measured time-series. The algorithm is inspired by re-interpreting the posterior distribution as a statistical mechanics partition function of an object akin to a polymer, whose dynamics is confined by both the model and the measurements.
