Kernel ridge regression is used to approximate the kinetic energy of non-interacting fermions in a one-dimensional box as a functional of their density. The properties of different kernels and methods of cross-validation are explored, and…

We consider a pseudo-marginal Metropolis--Hastings kernel $P_m$ that is constructed using an average of $m$ exchangeable random variables, as well as an analogous kernel $P_s$ that averages $s<m$ of these same random variables. Using an…
