Chapter 10: A Hilbert Space Approach To Variance Reduction
نویسنده
چکیده
In this chapter we explain variance reduction techniques from the Hilbert space standpoint, in the terminating simulation context. We use projection ideas to explain how variance is reduced, and to link different variance reduction techniques. Our focus is on the methods of control variates, conditional Monte Carlo, weighted Monte Carlo, stratification, and Latin hypercube sampling.

An extension theorem for finite positive measures on surfaces of finite dimensional unit balls in Hilbert spaces
A consistency criteria is given for a certain class of finite positive measures on the surfaces of the finite dimensional unit balls in a real separable Hilbert space. It is proved, through a Kolmogorov type existence theorem, that the class induces a unique positive measure on the surface of the unit ball in the Hilbert space. As an application, this will naturally accomplish the work of Kante...
متن کاملBayesian Multinomial Classification Method using Kernels
A Bayesian approach to multi-category classification based on reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) is proposed. The likelihood function is taken to be multinomial logistic and is modeled through a latent variable. Individual variance hyperparameters are placed on the weight coefficients, which is known to promote sparseness in the MAP estimates. The hierarchical model is treated with a fully...
متن کاملComputable Hilbert Schemes
In this PhD thesis we propose an algorithmic approach to the study of the Hilbert scheme. Developing algorithmic methods, we also obtain general results about Hilbert schemes. In Chapter 1 we discuss the equations defining the Hilbert scheme as subscheme of a suitable Grassmannian and in Chapter 5 we determine a new set of equations of degree lower than the degree of equations known so far. In ...
متن کاملChapter 10 Spectral theorems for bounded self-adjoint operators on a Hilbert space
Let H be a Hilbert space. For a bounded operator A : H → H its Hilbert space adjoint is an operator A∗ : H → H such that 〈Ax, y〉 = 〈x,A∗y〉 for all x, y ∈ H. We say that A is bounded self adjoint if A = A∗. In this chapter we discussed several results about the spectrum of a bounded self adjoint operator on a Hilbert space. We emphasize that in this chapter A is bounded, there is also a notion o...
متن کاملDiego Elements of Hilbert Space and Operator Theory with Application to Integral Equations
Preface These lecture notes present elements of Hilbert space and the theory of linear operators on Hilbert space, and their application to integral equations. Chapter 1 reviews vector spaces: bases, subspaces, and linear transforms. Chapter 2 covers the basics of Hilbert space. It includes the concept of Ba-nach space and Hilbert space, orthogonality, complete orthogonal bases, and Riesz repre...
