Code optimisation in a nested-sampling algorithm
The speed-up in program running time is investigated for problems of parameter estimation with nested sampling Monte Carlo methods. The example used in this study is to extract a polarisation observable from event-by-event data from meson photoproduction reactions. Various implementations of the basic algorithmwere compared, consisting of combinations of single threaded versus multi-threaded, a...
متن کاملAnts for Sampling in the Nested Partition Algorithm
The Nested Partition algorithm suffers from the lack of information gathering and sharing despite the computational effort dedicated to sampling the different subregions at each step of the algorithm. It is also noticed that the solution quality of the NP algorithm largely depends on the quality of the samples generated. Ants are used in this work as a mean to improve the samples quality throug...
متن کاملSlice sampling in nested IBP
We develop a nonparametric Bayesian method that explores the infinite space of latent features and finds the best subset in the sense of posterior probability. When the data appear in several groups, there should be different measures reflecting the differences between the groups. We formalize this as a nested Indian buffet process (nIBP) by assuming different measures according to the specific...
متن کاملOptimisation of assembly scheduling in VCIM systems using genetic algorithm
Assembly plays an important role in any production system as it constitutes a significant portion of the lead time and cost of a product. Virtual computer-integrated manufacturing (VCIM) system is a modern production system being conceptually developed to extend the application of traditional computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) system to global level. Assembly scheduling in VCIM systems is ...
متن کاملNested sampling with demons
This article looks at Skilling’s nested sampling from a physical perspective and interprets it as a microcanonical demon algorithm. Using key quantities of statistical physics we investigate the performance of nested sampling on complex systems such as Ising, Potts and protein models. We show that releasing multiple demons helps to smooth the truncated prior and eases sampling from it because t...
