This touches something we're already working on for HMC, so I'd wait until this is finished to work on waste-free SMC. |

A natural next step after the tempered SMC method is to implement the waste-free SMC algorithm in https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.02328. The gist is fairly simple: in order to work tempered SMC may require to run K >> 1 iterations of a chain for all N particles, and only keeps the last sample of each chain. This is quite statistically wasteful, and waste-free SMC proposes to reuse the samples generated along the chain to propose better estimates (in a sense this can be seen as the SMC analog of NUTS).
