Adaptive Control Variates in Monte Carlo Simulation
Monte Carlo simulation is widely used in many fields. Unfortunately, it usually requires a large amount of computer time to obtain even moderate precision so it is necessary to apply efficiency improvement techniques. Adaptive Monte Carlo methods are specialized Monte Carlo simulation techniques where the methods are adaptively tuned as the simulation progresses. The primary focus of such techn...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Sequential Monte Carlo Sampler
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods are not only a popular tool in the analysis of state–space models, but offer an alternative to Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) in situations where Bayesian inference must proceed via simulation. This paper introduces a new SMC method that uses adaptive MCMC kernels for particle dynamics. The proposed algorithm features an online stochastic optimization proce...
متن کاملSome adaptive monte carlo methods for Bayesian inference.
Monte Carlo methods, in particular Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, have become increasingly important as a tool for practical Bayesian inference in recent years. A wide range of algorithms is available, and choosing an algorithm that will work well on a specific problem is challenging. It is therefore important to explore the possibility of developing adaptive strategies that choose and adjus...
متن کاملNeural Adaptive Sequential Monte Carlo
Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC), or particle filtering, is a popular class of methods for sampling from an intractable target distribution using a sequence of simpler intermediate distributions. Like other importance sampling-based methods, performance is critically dependent on the proposal distribution: a bad proposal can lead to arbitrarily inaccurate estimates of the target distribution. This ...
متن کاملC beam: Monte Carlo simulations and experiment
Charge particle therapy with 12 C ions has the advantage of an enhancement in physical dose distribution due to the Bragg Peak (BP) related to higher Relative Biological Effectiveness (RBE) with respect to X-ray radiotherapy and proton therapy (2.5 for 12 C ions and 1.1 for protons) [1], [2]. The RBE of a 12 C therapeutic beam changes dramatically with depth, especially towards the end of the S...
