Abstract: Statistical mechanics describes the thermal disorder of molecular systems in terms of statistical ensembles, such as the Boltzmann distribution of classical mechanics. Given an approximate classical or quantum mechanical energy function, molecular simulations produce weighted configurations that jointly represent the statistical ensemble. How should one adapt the weights of these configurations, or more generally the underlying “Boltzmann distribution”, when new experimental information emerges? I address this problem of “ensemble refinement” in a (somewhat unusual) Bayesian framework.
