A Monte Carlo algorithm for efficient large matrix inversion
This paper introduces a new Monte Carlo algorithm to invert large matrices. It is based on simultaneous coupled draws from two random vectors whose covariance is the required inverse. It can be considered a generalization of a previously reported algorithm for hermitian matrices inversion based in only one draw. The use of two draws allows the inversion on non-hermitian matrices. Both the condi...
متن کاملDynamic Frailty and Change Point Models for Recurrent Events Data
Abstract. We present a Bayesian analysis for recurrent events data using a nonhomogeneous mixed Poisson point process with a dynamic subject-specific frailty function and a dynamic baseline intensity func- tion. The dynamic subject-specific frailty employs a dynamic piecewise constant function with a known pre-specified grid and the baseline in- tensity uses an unknown grid for the piecewise ...
متن کاملPropagation of Errors for Matrix Inversion
A formula is given for the propagation of errors during matrix inversion. An explicit calculation for a 2 × 2 matrix using both the formula and a Monte Carlo calculation are compared. A prescription is given to determine when a matrix with uncertain elements is sufficiently nonsingular for the calculation of the covariances of the inverted matrix elements to be reliable.
متن کاملDecision Method in Type-2 Fuzzy Events under Fuzzy Observed Information
Hori (né Uemura) et al. formulated the fuzzy-Bayes decision rule extension of the Wald decision function to fuzzy ORand AND-connectives with multiple subjective distributions. This decision rule maps and transforms a state of nature to fuzzy events. In this context, the map of subjective distributions is called the subjective possibility distribution and the map of utility functions is called t...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Matrix Inversion Policy Evaluation
In 1950, Forsythe and Leibler (1950) introduced a statistical technique for finding the inverse of a matrix by characterizing the elements of the matrix inverse as expected values of a sequence of random walks. Barto and Duff (1994) subsequently showed relations between this technique and standard dynamic programming and temporal differencing methods. The advantage of the Monte Carlo matrix inv...
