Using Monte Carlo Integration and Control Variates to Estimate
We will demonstrate the utility of Monte Carlo integration by using this algorithm to calculate an estimate for . In order to improve this estimate, we will also demonstrate how a family of covariate functions can be used to reduce the variance. Finally, the optimal covariate function within this family is found numerically. 1. An Introduction to Monte Carlo Integration 1.1. Monte Carlo Integra...
متن کاملControl Variates Techniques for Monte Carlo Simulation
In this paper we present an overview of classical results about the variance reduction technique of control variates. We emphasize aspects of the theory that are of importance to the practitioner, as well as presenting relevant applications.
متن کاملAdaptive Control Variates in Monte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo simulation is widely used in many fields. Unfortunately, it usually requires a large amount of computer time to obtain even moderate precision so it is necessary to apply efficiency improvement techniques. Adaptive Monte Carlo methods are specialized Monte Carlo simulation techniques where the methods are adaptively tuned as the simulation progresses. The primary focus of such techn...
متن کاملControl variates for quasi-Monte Carlo
Quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) methods have begun to displace ordinary Monte Carlo (MC) methods in many practical problems. It is natural and obvious to combine QMC methods with traditional variance reduction techniques used in MC sampling, such as control variates. There can, however, be some surprises. The optimal control variate coefficient for QMC methods is not in general the same as for MC. Usin...
متن کاملEfficient Sequential Monte Carlo With Multiple Proposals and Control Variates
Sequential Monte Carlo is a useful simulation-based method for online filtering of state-space models. For certain complex state-space models, a single proposal distribution is usually not satisfactory and using multiple proposal distributions is a general approach to address various aspects of the filtering problem. This article proposes an efficient method of using multiple proposals in combi...
