Sampling Conditioned

چکیده
A series of recent articles introduced a method to construct stochastic partial differential equations (SPDEs) which are invariant with respect to the distribution of a given conditioned diffusion. These works are restricted to the case of elliptic diffusions where the drift has a gradient structure and the resulting SPDE is of second-order parabolic type. The present article extends this methodology to allow the construction of SPDEs which are invariant with respect to the distribution of a class of hypoelliptic diffusion processes, subject to a bridge conditioning, leading to SPDEs which are of fourth-order parabolic type. This allows the treatment of more realistic physical models, for example, one can use the resulting SPDE to study transitions between meta-stable states in mechanical systems with friction and noise. In this situation the restriction of the drift being a gradient can also be lifted.

Sampling Conditioned Diffusions
For many practical problems it is useful to be able to sample conditioned diffusions on a computer (e.g. in filtering/smoothing to sample from the conditioned distribution of the unknown signal given the known observations). We present a recently developed, SPDE-based method to tackle this problem. The method is an infinite dimensional generalisation of the Langevin sampling technique.
متن کاملImportance Sampling for rare events and conditioned random walks
This paper introduces a new Importance Sampling scheme, called Adaptive Twisted Importance Sampling, which is adequate for the improved estimation of rare event probabilities in he range of moderate deviations pertaining to the empirical mean of real i.i.d. summands. It is based on a sharp approximation of the density of long runs extracted from a random walk conditioned on its end value. ha l-...
متن کاملImportance sampling techniques for estimation of diffusion models
This article develops a class of Monte Carlo (MC) methods for simulating conditioned diffusion sample paths, with special emphasis on importance sampling schemes. We restrict attention to a particular type of conditioned diffusion, the so-called diffusion bridge processes. The diffusion bridge is the process obtained by conditioning a diffusion to start and finish at specific values at two cons...
متن کاملA conditioned Latin hypercube method for sampling in the presence of ancillary information
This paper presents the conditioned Latin hypercube as a sampling strategy of an area with prior information represented as exhaustive ancillary data. Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) is a stratified random procedure that provides an efficient way of sampling variables from their multivariate distributions. It provides a full coverage of the range of each variable by maximally stratifying the mar...
متن کاملInfluence of rewatering and time of sampling on solute accumulation of two Populus deltoides clones.
We investigated effects of rehydration and time of sampling on solute accumulation in plants of two greenhouse-grown Populus deltoides Bartr. clones (Ohio Red and Platte) subjected to multiple cycles of water stress. Osmotic potential of leaves at full turgor was measured at predawn on well-watered (control) and water-stressed (conditioned) plants that had been rewatered the previous afternoon....
متن کاملFrom Mesoscale Back to Microscale: Reconstruction
Starting from a microscopic stochastic lattice spin system and the corresponding coarse-grained model we introduce a mathematical strategy to recover microscopic information given the coarse-grained data. We define “reconstructed” microscopic measures satisfying two conditions: (i) they are close in specific relative entropy to the initial microscopic equilibrium measure conditioned on the coar...
