Exact Simulation and Error-Controlled Sampling via Regeneration and a Bernoulli Factory
Methods using regeneration have been used to draw approximations to the stationary distribution of Markov Chain Monte Carlo processes. We introduce an algorithm that allows exact sampling of the stationary distribution through the use of a regeneration method and a Bernoulli Factory to select samples within each regeneration cycle that are shown to be from the desired density. We demonstrate th...
متن کاملProbability and Sampling Distributions
When an experiment is conducted, such as tossing coins, rolling a die, sampling for estimating the proportion of defective units, several outcomes or events occur with certain probabilities. These events or outcomes may be regarded as a variable which takes different values and each value is associated with a probability. The values of this variable depends on chance or probability. Such a vari...
متن کاملIntroduction to Probability Theory and Sampling Distributions
tatistical inference allows one to draw conclusions about the characteristics of a population on the basis of data collected from a sample of subjects from that population. Almost all the statistical inferences typically seen in the medical literature are based on probability models that connect summary statistics calculated using the observed data to estimates of parameter values in the popula...
متن کاملA Practical Implementation of the Bernoulli Factory
The Bernoulli Factory is an algorithm that takes as input a series of i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables with an unknown but fixed success probability p, and outputs a corresponding series of Bernoulli random variables with success probability f(p), where the function f is known and defined on the interval [0, 1]. While several practical uses of the method have been proposed in Monte Carlo appli...
متن کاملDeep Learning for Sampling from Arbitrary Probability Distributions
This paper proposes a fully connected neural network model to map samples from a uniform distribution to samples of any explicitly known probability density function. During the training, the Jensen-Shannon divergence between the distribution of the model’s output and the target distribution is minimized. We experimentally demonstrate that our model converges towards the desired state. It provi...
