Sequential Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian elliptic inverse problems
In this article we consider a Bayesian inverse problem associated to elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) in two and three dimensions. This class of inverse problems is important in applications such as hydrology, but the complexity of the link function between unknown field and measurements can make it difficult to draw inference from the associated posterior. We prove that for this ...
متن کاملQuasi-Monte Carlo and Multilevel Monte Carlo Methods for Computing Posterior Expectations in Elliptic Inverse Problems∗
We are interested in computing the expectation of a functional of a PDE solution under a Bayesian posterior distribution. Using Bayes’s rule, we reduce the problem to estimating the ratio of two related prior expectations. For a model elliptic problem, we provide a full convergence and complexity analysis of the ratio estimator in the case where Monte Carlo, quasi-Monte Carlo, or multilevel Mon...
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 ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Methods in Geophysical Inverse Problems
[1] Monte Carlo inversion techniques were first used by Earth scientists more than 30 years ago. Since that time they have been applied to a wide range of problems, from the inversion of free oscillation data for whole Earth seismic structure to studies at the meter-scale lengths encountered in exploration seismology. This paper traces the development and application of Monte Carlo methods for ...
متن کاملSequential Monte Carlo Inverse Kinematics
In this paper we propose a new and original approach to solve the Inverse Kinematics problem. Our approach has the advantages to avoid the classical pitfalls of numerical inversion methods such as singularities, accept arbitrary types of constraints and exhibit a linear complexity with respect to degrees of freedom which makes it far more efficient for articulated figures with a high number of ...
