Monte Carlo integration with subtraction
This paper investigates a class of algorithms for numerical integration of a function in d dimensions over a compact domain by Monte Carlo methods. We construct a histogram approximation to the function using a partition of the integration domain into a set of bins specified by some parameters. We then consider two adaptations; the first is to subtract the histogram approximation, whose integra...
متن کاملToward Optimal Stratification for Stratified Monte-Carlo Integration
We consider the problem of adaptive stratified sampling for Monte Carlo integration of a noisy function, given a finite budget n of noisy evaluations to the function. We tackle in this paper the problem of adapting to the function at the same time the number of samples into each stratum and the partition itself. More precisely, it is interesting to refine the partition of the domain in area whe...
متن کاملOptimal Monte Carlo updating.
Based on Peskun's theorem it is shown that optimal transition matrices in Markov chain Monte Carlo should have zero diagonal elements except for the diagonal element corresponding to the largest weight. We will compare the statistical efficiency of this sampler to existing algorithms, such as heat-bath updating and the Metropolis algorithm. We provide numerical results for the Potts model as an...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Integration With Acceptance-Rejection
This article considers Monte Carlo integration under rejection sampling or Metropolis-Hastings sampling. Each algorithm involves accepting or rejecting observations from proposal distributions other than a target distribution. While taking a likelihood approach, we basically treat the sampling scheme as a random design, and define a stratified estimator of the baseline measure. We establish tha...
متن کاملMonte Carlo integration with Markov chain
There are two conceptually distinct tasks in Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC): a sampler is designed for simulating a Markov chain and then an estimator is constructed on the Markov chain for computing integrals and expectations. In this article, we aim to address the second task by extending the likelihood approach of Kong et al. for Monte Carlo integration. We consider a general Markov chain s...
