Adaptive channels for data analysis and importance sampling
نویسنده
چکیده
The adaptive multi-channel method is applied to derive probability distributions from data samples. Moreover, an explicit algorithm is introduced, for which both the channel weights and the channels themselves are adaptive, and which can be used both for data analysis and for importance sampling in Monte Carlo integration. Finally, it is pointed out how the usefulness for data analysis can be used to optimize the integration procedure.

AN ADAPTIVE IMPORTANCE SAMPLING-BASED ALGORITHM USING THE FIRST-ORDER METHOD FOR STRUCTURAL RELIABILITY
Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) is a useful tool for computation of probability of failure in reliability analysis. However, the large number of samples, often required for acceptable accuracy, makes it time-consuming. Importance sampling is a method on the basis of MCS which has been proposed to reduce the computational time of MCS. In this paper, a new adaptive importance sampling-based algorith...
متن کاملImportance Sampling Methodologies for Simulation of Communication Systems with Time-Varying Channels and Adaptive Equalizers
Formula-based analysis of communication links with time-varying channels and adaptive equalizers is not always tractable Monte Carlo simulation must be used to obtain bit error rate (BER) estimates of the system. Conventional Monte Carlo simulation will not provide estimates for low BER's due to excessive run time. Although importance sampling (IS) techniques offer the potential for large speed...
متن کاملGradient-based Sampling: An Adaptive Importance Sampling for Least-squares
In modern data analysis, random sampling is an efficient and widely-used strategy to overcome the computational difficulties brought by large sample size. In previous studies, researchers conducted random sampling which is according to the input data but independent on the response variable, however the response variable may also be informative for sampling. In this paper we propose an adaptive...

متن کاملAdaptive Importance Sampling for Uniformly Recurrent Markov Chains
Importance sampling is a variance reduction technique for efficient estimation of rare-event probabilities by Monte Carlo. In standard importance sampling schemes, the system is simulated using an a priori fixed change of measure suggested by a large deviation lower bound analysis. Recent work, however, has suggested that such schemes do not work well in many situations. In this paper, we consi...
