Improved importance sampling distribution for rate constant calculation.
An efficient method to compute the thermal rate constant for rare events within the correlation function C(t) approach is presented. This method, which is based on a modification of the sampling function used to evaluate the dynamical correlation function C(t), can be applied to high-dimensional systems having a rough energy landscape without previous knowledge on the transition states location...
متن کاملOn improved estimation for importance sampling
The standard estimator used in conjunction with importance sampling in Monte Carlo integration is unbiased but inefficient. An alternative estimator is discussed, based on the idea of a difference estimator, which is asymptotically optimal. The improved estimator uses the importance weight as a control variate, as previously studied by Hesterberg (Ph.D. Dissertation, Stanford University (1988);...
متن کاملPiecewise Constant Sequential Importance Sampling for Fast Particle Filtering
Particle filters are key algorithms for object tracking under non-linear, non-Gaussian dynamics. The high computational cost of particle filters, however, hampers their applicability in cases where the likelihood model is costly to evaluate, or where large numbers of particles are required to represent the posterior. We introduce the piecewise constant sequential importance sampling/resampling ...
متن کاملRobust biased Brownian dynamics for rate constant calculation.
A reaction probability is required to calculate the rate constant of a diffusion-dominated reaction. Due to the complicated geometry and potentially high dimension of the reaction probability problem, it is usually solved by a Brownian dynamics simulation, also known as a random walk or path integral method, instead of solving the equivalent partial differential equation by a discretization met...
متن کاملDivided Saddle Theory: A New Idea for Rate Constant Calculation.
We present a theory of rare events and derive an algorithm to obtain rates from postprocessing the numerical data of a free energy calculation and the corresponding committor analysis. The formalism is based on the division of the saddle region of the free energy profile of the rare event into two adjacent segments called saddle domains. The method is built on sampling the dynamics within these...
