What is an intuitive explanation of hyper-rectangle slice sampling?
Why is it called "hyper-rectangle" slice sampling?
It's called "hyper-rectangle" slice sampling because it involves slicing a hyper-rectangle, which is a multi-dimensional shape defined by two points in each dimension. The hyper-rectangle contains the region of high probability mass, and dividing it into slices allows for better sampling of that region.
