The bootstrap and Markov-chain Monte Carlo.
This note concerns the use of parametric bootstrap sampling to carry out Bayesian inference calculations. This is only possible in a subset of those problems amenable to Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) analysis, but when feasible the bootstrap approach offers both computational and theoretical advantages. The discussion here is in terms of a simple example, with no attempt at a general analysis.
متن کاملAn Adaptive Quasi Monte Carlo Alternative to Metropolis
We present a manually-adaptive extension of Quasi Monte Carlo (QMC) integration for approximating marginal densities, moments, and quantiles when the joint density is known up to a normalization constant. Randomization and a batch-wise approach involving (0; s)-sequences are the cornerstones of the technique. By incorporating a variety of graphical diagnostics the method allows the user to adap...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo simulation is named after the city of Monte Carlo in Monaco, which is famous for gambling such as roulette, dice, and slot machines. Since the simulation process involves generating chance variables and exhibits random behaviors, it has been called Monte Carlo simulation. Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful statistical analysis tool and widely used in both non-engineering fields an...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation
The uniform random number can be manipulated to simulate the characteristics of any probability density function. For power system reliability analysis the exponential and the Weibull distributions are well suited. Simulated exponential and Weibull random variables can be obtained from uniform (0,1) RNs by making use of the fact that the cumulative density function (CDF) is uniform between zero...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulation Method
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods such as Variational Monte Carlo, Diffusion Monte Carlo or Path Integral Monte Carlo are the most accurate and general methods for computing total electronic energies. We will review methods we have developed to perform QMC for the electrons coupled to another MC simulation for the ions. In this method, one estimates the Born-Oppenheimer energy E(Z) where Z repr...
