Importance Sampling for Multiscale Diffusions
We construct importance sampling schemes for stochastic differential equations with small noise and fast oscillating coefficients. Standard Monte Carlo methods perform poorly for these problems in the small noise limit. With multiscale processes there are additional complications, and indeed the straightforward adaptation of methods for standard small noise diffusions will not produce efficient...
متن کاملSimulation of Diffusions by Means of Importance Sampling Paradigm
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new Monte Carlo method based on importance sampling techniques for the simulation of stochastic differential equations. The main idea is here to combine random walk on squares or rectangles methods with importance sampling techniques. The first interest of this approach is that the weights can be easily computed from the density of the one-dimensional Bro...
متن کاملGaussian Approximations of Small Noise Diffusions in Kullback-leibler Divergence
Abstract. We study Gaussian approximations to the distribution of a diffusion. The approximations are easy to compute: they are defined by two simple ordinary differential equations for the mean and the covariance. Time correlations can also be computed via solution of a linear stochastic differential equation. We show, using the Kullback-Leibler divergence, that the approximations are accurate...
متن کاملInverse Sampling for Nonasymptotic Sequential Estimation of Bounded Variable Means
In this paper, we consider the nonasymptotic sequential estimation of means of random variables bounded in between zero and one. We have rigorously demonstrated that, in order to guarantee prescribed relative precision and confidence level, it suffices to continue sampling until the sample sum is no less than a certain bound and then take the average of samples as an estimate for the mean of th...
متن کاملMetastable Behaviour of Small Noise Lévy-driven Diffusions
Abstract. We consider a dynamical system in R driven by a vector field −U ′, where U is a multi-well potential satisfying some regularity conditions. We perturb this dynamical system by a Lévy noise of small intensity and such that the heaviest tail of its Lévy measure is regularly varying. We show that the perturbed dynamical system exhibits metastable behaviour i.e. on a proper time scale it ...
