Approximation of probability density functions by the Multilevel Monte Carlo Maximum Entropy method
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop a complete convergence theory for the Maximum Entropy method based on moment matching for a sequence of approximate statistical moments estimated by the Multilevel Monte Carlo method. Under appropriate regularity assumptions on the target probability density function, the proposed method is superior to the Maximum Entropy method with moments estimated by the Monte Carlo method. New theoretical results are illustrated in numerical examples.

Reliability and Sensitivity Analysis of Structures Using Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Systems
In this study, an efficient method based on Monte Carlo simulation, utilized with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is introduced for reliability analysis of structures. Monte Carlo Simulation is capable of solving a broad range of reliability problems. However, the amount of computational efforts that may involve is a draw back of such methods. ANFIS is capable of approximating str...
متن کاملRisk measurement and Implied volatility under Minimal Entropy Martingale Measure for Levy process
This paper focuses on two main issues that are based on two important concepts: exponential Levy process and minimal entropy martingale measure. First, we intend to obtain risk measurement such as value-at-risk (VaR) and conditional value-at-risk (CvaR) using Monte-Carlo methodunder minimal entropy martingale measure (MEMM) for exponential Levy process. This Martingale measure is used for the...
متن کاملMaximum-Entropy Method for Evaluating the Slope Stability of Earth Dams
The slope stability is a very important problem in geotechnical engineering. This paper presents an approach for slope reliability analysis based on the maximum-entropy method. The key idea is to implement the maximum entropy principle in estimating the probability density function. The performance function is formulated by the Simplified Bishop’s method to estimate the slope failure probabilit...
متن کاملGMM estimation of a maximum entropy distribution with interval data
We develop a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator for the distribution of a variable where summary statistics are available only for intervals of the random variable. Without individual data, one cannot calculate the weighting matrix for the GMM estimator. Instead, we propose a simulated weighting matrix based on a first-step consistent estimate. When the functional form of the underly...
متن کاملA combined reliability analysis approach with dimension reduction method and maximum entropy method
This paper presents a combined reliability analysis approach which is composed of Dimension Reduction Method (DRM) and Maximum Entropy Method (MEM). DRM has emerged as a new approach in this field with the advantages of its sensitivity-free nature and efficiency instead of searching for the most probable point (MPP). However, in some recent implementations, the Moment Based Quadrature Rule (MBQ...
