A Monte Carlo Method for Calculating Initiation Probability
A Monte Carlo method for calculating the probability of initiating a self-sustaining neutron chain reaction has been developed. In contrast to deterministic codes which solve a non-linear, adjoint form of the Boltzmann equation to calculate initiation probability, this new method solves the forward (standard) form of the equation using a modified source calculation technique. Results from this ...
متن کاملAn adaptive sequential Monte Carlo method for approximate Bayesian computation
Approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) is a popular approach to address inference problems where the likelihood function is intractable, or expensive to calculate. To improve over Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) implementations of ABC, the use of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods has recently been suggested. Effective SMC algorithms that are currently available for ABC have a computational c...
متن کاملProbability RANDOMIZED HAMILTONIAN MONTE CARLO
Tuning the duration of the Hamiltonian flow in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo (also called Hybrid Monte Carlo) (HMC) involves a tradeoff between computational and sampling efficiency, which is typically challenging to resolve in a satisfactory way. In this article we present and analyze a randomized HMC method (RHMC), in which these durations are i.i.d. exponential random variables whose mean is a fre...
متن کاملExtrapolated high-order propagators for path integral Monte Carlo simulations.
We present a new class of high-order imaginary time propagators for path integral Monte Carlo simulations that require no higher order derivatives of the potential nor explicit quadratures of Gaussian trajectories. Higher orders are achieved by an extrapolation of the primitive second-order propagator involving subtractions. By requiring all terms of the extrapolated propagator to have the same...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo for Bayesian Computation
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are a class of importance sampling and resampling techniques designed to simulate from a sequence of probability distributions. These approaches have become very popular over the last few years to solve sequential Bayesian inference problems (e.g. Doucet et al. 2001). However, in comparison to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), the application of SMC remains l...
