contents Matrix normal models have an associated 4-tensor for their covariance representation. The covariance array associated with a matrix normal model is naturally represented as a Kronecker-product structured covariance associated with the vector normal, also known as separable covariance matrices. Separable covariance matrices have been studied extensively in the context of multiway data, but little work has been done within the scope of MCMC beyond Gibbs sampling. This paper aims to fill this gap by considering the pullback geometry induced from the Kronecker structure of the parameter space to develop a geodesic Hamiltonian Monte Carlo sampler.
