Efficient Simulation for Large Deviation Probabilities of Heavy - Tailed Sums
Let (Xn : n ≥ 0) be a sequence of iid rv’s with mean zero and finite variance. We present an efficient statedependent importance sampling algorithm for estimating the tail of Sn = X1 + ...+Xn in a large deviations framework as n ↗ ∞. Our algorithm can be shown to be strongly efficient basically throughout the whole large deviations region as n ↗ ∞ (in particular, for probabilities of the form P...
متن کاملBayesian inference for finite population quantiles from unequal probability samples.
This paper develops two Bayesian methods for inference about finite population quantiles of continuous survey variables from unequal probability sampling. The first method estimates cumulative distribution functions of the continuous survey variable by fitting a number of probit penalized spline regression models on the inclusion probabilities. The finite population quantiles are then obtained ...
متن کاملOn Asymptotically Efficient Simulation Of Large Deviation Probabilities
Consider a family of probabilities for which the decay is governed by a large deviation principle. To find an estimate for a fixed member of this family, one is often forced to use simulation techniques. Direct Monte Carlo simulation, however, is often impractical, particularly if the probability that should be estimated is extremely small. Importance sampling is a technique in which samples ar...
متن کاملLog-level Comparison for Small Deviation Probabilities
Log-level comparisons of the small deviation probabilities are studied in three different but related settings: Gaussian processes under the L2 norm, multiple sums motivated by tensor product of Gaussian processes, and various integrated fractional Brownian motions under the sup-norm. ∗Department of Mathematics, University of Idaho, Moscow, ID 83844-1103, [email protected].
