Description

Hi everyone, I found that the adaptive MCMC in tfp.MCMC is for HMC, is there any resource for Metropolis? For example, the traditional one that updates a running covariance?

Research direction

Start with tfp.MCMC and the linked Andrieu–Thoms paper to understand the requested adaptive Metropolis behavior and whether existing resources cover it. Done would require a decided scope for running-covariance adaptation and corresponding support or documentation for Metropolis methods.
