Optimizing Quartet Trees Through Monte Carlo Methods
The problem is to construct an optimal weight tree from the 3 ( n 4 ) weighted quartet topologies on n objects, where optimality means that the summed weight of the embedded quartet topologies is optimal (so it can be the case that the optimal tree embeds all quartets as nonoptimal topologies). We present a Monte Carlo heuristic, based on randomized hill climbing, for approximating the optimal ...
متن کاملOptimizing the Likelihood with Sequential Monte–Carlo methods
In this paper, a Sequential Monte–Carlo (SMC) method is studied to deal with nonlinear multivariate optimization problems arising from Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimation approaches. In this context, gradient–like methods are not efficient being the computational cost burdensome. Moreover, SMC provide an appealing way of introducing prior information in the estimation of parameters in general st...
متن کاملPiecewise Constant Level Set Methods and Image Segmentation
In this work we discuss variants of a PDE based level set method. Traditionally interfaces are represented by the zero level set of continuous level set functions. We instead use piecewise constant level set functions, and let interfaces be represented by discontinuities. Some of the properties of the standard level set function are preserved in the proposed method. Using the methods for interf...
متن کاملMonte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo methods
Monte Carlo is one of the most versatile and widely used numerical methods. Its convergence rate, O(N~^), is independent of dimension, which shows Monte Carlo to be very robust but also slow. This article presents an introduction to Monte Carlo methods for integration problems, including convergence theory, sampling methods and variance reduction techniques. Accelerated convergence for Monte Ca...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods and applications for the nuclear shell model
The shell-model Monte Carlo (SMMC) technique transforms the traditional nuclear shell-model problem into a path-integral over auxiliary fields. We describe below the method and its applications to four physics issues: calculations of sd-pf shell nuclei, a discussion of electron-capture rates in pf -shell nuclei, exploration of pairing correlations in unstable nuclei, and level densities in rare...
