Reliability Estimation by Advanced Monte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) offers a powerful means for evaluating the reliability of a system, due to the modeling flexibility that it offers indifferently of the type and dimension of the problem. The method is based on the repeated sampling of realizations of system configurations, which however are seldom of failure so that a large number of realizations must be simulated in order to achie...
متن کاملAdvanced Interacting Sequential Monte Carlo Sampling for Inverse Scattering
The following electromagnetism (EM) inverse problem is addressed. It consists in estimating local radioelectric properties of materials recovering an object from global EM scattering measurements, at various incidences and wave frequencies. This large scale ill-posed inverse problem is explored by an intensive exploitation of an efficient 2D Maxwell solver, distributed on high performance compu...
متن کاملImportance Sampling for Monte Carlo Estimation of Quantiles
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 quantile estimators. EEciency comparisons are provided in a certain asymptotic setting, using ideas from large deviation theory.
متن کاملAn Attempt at Adaptive Sampling for Photorealistic Image Generation: Learning Sampling Schemes for Monte Carlo Rendering
We take a machine learning based approach to adaptive sampling for Monte Carlo Rendering, by using geometric and lighting data obtained through prior renders of scenes. Using nonlinear kernels, we trained Support Vector Machines of high accuracy, but complications arose in the labelling of our data, resulting in slightly impractical results for the sampler itself.
متن کاملCalculating partial expected value of perfect information via Monte Carlo sampling algorithms.
Partial expected value of perfect information (EVPI) calculations can quantify the value of learning about particular subsets of uncertain parameters in decision models. Published case studies have used different computational approaches. This article examines the computation of partial EVPI estimates via Monte Carlo sampling algorithms. The mathematical definition shows 2 nested expectations, ...
