Adaptive Importance Sampling via Stochastic Convex Programming
Adaptive Importance Sampling via Stochastic Convex Programming
2015/7/8
We show that the variance of the Monte Carlo estimator that is importance sampled from an exponential family is a convex function of the natural parameter of the distribution. With this insight, we pr...
Importance Sampling for Monte Carlo Estimation of Quantiles
quantiles importance sampling large deviations.
2015/7/8
This paper is concerned with applying importance sampling as a variance reduction tool for computing extreme quantiles. A central limit theorem is derived for each of four proposed importance sampling...
Importance Sampling Using the Semi-Regenerative Method
Importance Sampling Semi-Regenerative Method
2015/7/8
We discuss using the semi-regenerative method, importance sampling, and stratification to estimate the expected cumulative reward until hitting a fixed set of states for a discrete-time Markov chain o...
Fluid Heuristics, Lyapunov Bounds, and Efficient Importance Sampling for a Heavy-tailed G/G/1 Queue
State-dependent importance sampling Rare-event simulation Heavy-tails
2015/7/6
We develop a strongly efficient rare-event simulation algorithm for computing the tail of the steady-state waiting time in a single server queue with regularly varying service times. Our algorithm is ...
Zero-Variance Importance Sampling Estimators for Markov Process Expectations
Importance sampling Markov process simulation
2015/7/6
We consider the use of importance sampling to compute expectations of functionals of Markov processes. For a class of expectations that can be characterized as positive solutions to a linear system, w...

2015/7/6
In this article we explain some connections between Lyapunov methods and subsolutions of an associated Isaacs equation for the design of efficient importance sampling schemes. As we shall see, subsolu...

2013/6/14
We consider the problem of estimating parameters of stochastic differential equations with discrete-time observations that are either completely or partially observed. The transition density between t...
Metamodel-based importance sampling for structural reliability analysis

2011/6/16
Structural reliability methods aim at computing the probability of failure of systems with
respect to some prescribed performance functions. In modern engineering such functions
usually resort to ru...
Quantile estimation with adaptive importance sampling
Quantile estimation law of iterated logarithm adaptive im-portance sampling stochastic approximation Robbins–Monro
2010/3/11
We introduce new quantile estimators with adaptive importance
sampling. The adaptive estimators are based on weighted samples
that are neither independent nor identically distributed. Using a
new l...

2009/9/16
Case-deleted analysis is a popular method for evaluating the influence of a subset of cases on inference. The use of Monte Carlo estimation strategies in complicated Bayesian settings leads naturally ...
