We approximate the complicated target density by a composition of self-reinforced KR rearrangements, in which previously constructed KR rearrangements -- based on the same approximation ansatz -- are used to precondition the density approximation problem for building each new KR rearrangement.

Transportation of measure provides a versatile approach for modeling complex probability distributions, with applications in density estimation, Bayesian inference, generative modeling, and beyond.

We prove weak convergence of the generated sequence of distributions to the posterior, and we demonstrate the benefits of the framework on challenging inference problems in machine learning and differential equations, using inverse autoregressive flows and polynomial maps as examples of the underlying density estimators.
