Quasi-Monte Carlo estimation in generalized linear mixed models
Generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) are useful for modelling longitudinal and clustered data, but parameter estimation is very challenging because the likelihood may involve high-dimensional integrals that are analytically intractable. GaussHermite quadrature (GHQ) approximation can be applied but is only suitable for low-dimensional random effects. Based on the Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) appr...
متن کاملQuasi-Random Maximum Simulated Likelihood Estimation of the Mixed Multinomial Logit Model
This paper proposes the use of a quasi-random sequence for the estimation of the mixed multinomial logit model. The mixed multinomial structure is a flexible discrete choice formulation which accommodates general patterns of competitiveness as well as heterogeneity across individuals in sensitivity to exogenous variables. The estimation of this model has been achieved in the past using the pseu...
متن کاملAn adaptive Monte Carlo algorithm for computing mixed logit estimators
Researchers and analysts are increasingly using mixed logit models for estimating responses to forecast demand and to determine the factors that affect individual choices. However the numerical cost associated to their evaluation can be prohibitive, the inherent probability choices being represented by multidimensional integrals. This cost remains high even if Monte Carlo or quasi-Monte Carlo t...
متن کاملEfficient Bidirectional Path Tracing by Randomized Quasi-Monte Carlo Integration
As opposed to Monte Carlo integration the quasi-Monte Carlo method does not allow for an error estimate from the samples used for the integral approximation and the deterministic error bound is not accessible in the setting of computer graphics, since usually the integrands are of unbounded variation. We investigate the application of randomized quasi-Monte Carlo integration to bidirectional pa...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Extension of Quasi-monte Carlo
This paper surveys recent research on using Monte Carlo techniques to improve quasi-Monte Carlo techniques. Randomized quasi-Monte Carlo methods provide a basis for error estimation. They have, in the special case of scrambled nets, also been observed to improve accuracy. Finally through Latin supercube sampling it is possible to use Monte Carlo methods to extend quasi-Monte Carlo methods to hi...
