Power Analysis for Complex Mediational Designs Using Monte Carlo Methods.
Applied researchers often include mediation effects in applications of advanced methods such as latent variable models and linear growth curve models. Guidance on how to estimate statistical power to detect mediation for these models has not yet been addressed in the literature. We describe a general framework for power analyses for complex mediational models. The approach is based on the well ...
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 and Quasi-Monte-Carlo Methods for Numerical Integration
We consider the problem of numerical integration in dimension s, with eventually large s; the usual rules need a very huge number of nodes with increasing dimension to obtain some accuracy, say an error bound less than 10−2; this phenomenon is called ”the curse of dimensionality”; to overcome it, two kind of methods have been developped: the so-called Monte-Carlo and Quasi-Monte-Carlo methods. ...
متن کاملReliability sensitivity analysis with Monte Carlo methods
In many practical applications of structural reliability analysis, one is interested in knowing the sensitivity of the probability of failure to design parameters that enter the definition of the limit-state function. This information is required for example in reliability-based design optimization. Parameter sensitivities are obtained by FORM/SORM, in terms of the sensitivity of the respective...
متن کاملInverse Kinematics Using Sequential Monte Carlo Methods
In this paper we propose an original approach to solve the Inverse Kinematics problem. Our framework is based on Sequential Monte Carlo Methods and has the advantage to avoid the classical pitfalls of numerical inversion methods since only direct calculations are required. The resulting algorithm accepts arbitrary constraints and exhibits linear complexity with respect to the number of degrees ...
