Information guided noise reduction for Monte Carlo integration of oscillatory functions
نویسنده
چکیده
A simple procedure for decreasing the statistical error associated with Monte Carlo integration of oscillatory functions is presented. The method uses available information about the integral of a similar oscillatory function to correlate the estimates of the positive and negative components of the integral. Numerical tests show that information guided noise reduction (IGNoR) leads to substantial decrease of the statistical error, allowing meaningful results to be obtained with a fraction of the cost required to attain similar precision from the raw Monte Carlo estimate. 2004 Elsevier B.V.

Forward--backward semiclassical dynamics with information-guided noise reduction for a molecule in solution.
The forward--backward semiclassical dynamics (FBSD) methodology is used to obtain expressions for time correlation functions of a system (atom or molecule) in solution. We use information-guided noise reduction (IGNoR) [Makri, N. Chem. Phys. Lett. 2004, 400, 446] to minimize the statistical error associated with the Monte Carlo integration of oscillatory functions. This is possible by reformula...
متن کاملInformation-Guided Noise Reduction in Forward-Backward Semiclassical Dynamics.
Information-guided noise reduction (IGNoR) [Chem. Phys. Lett. 2004, 400, 446], a procedure for reducing the statistical error in Monte Carlo integration of oscillatory functions, is generalized to cases where both the prototype function and remaining integrand are complex-valued. The method is applied to the forward-backward semiclassical dynamics approximation of time correlation functions. Il...
متن کاملA Monte Carlo-Based Search Strategy for Dimensionality Reduction in Performance Tuning Parameters
Redundant and irrelevant features in high dimensional data increase the complexity in underlying mathematical models. It is necessary to conduct pre-processing steps that search for the most relevant features in order to reduce the dimensionality of the data. This study made use of a meta-heuristic search approach which uses lightweight random simulations to balance between the exploitation of ...
