Importance sampling for spatial scan analysis: computing scan statistic p-values for marked point processes(
Each point in an observed point pattern representing potential target detections (e.g., mines for mine eld detection and localization) often is accompanied by a scalar ‘mark’ representing the detector’s level of con dence in that particular detection. Scan analysis for clustering should take this additional mark information into account. We present an importance sampling method for deciding, ba...
متن کاملImportance Sampling for Production Rendering
Importance sampling provides a practical, production-proven method for integrating diffuse and glossy surface reflections with arbitrary image-based environment or area lighting constructs. Here, functions are evaluated at random points across a domain to produce an estimate of an integral. When using a large number of sample points, the method produces a very accurate result of the integral an...
متن کاملSandwiching the marginal likelihood using bidirectional Monte Carlo
Computing the marginal likelihood (ML) of a model requires marginalizing out all of the parameters and latent variables, a difficult high-dimensional summation or integration problem. To make matters worse, it is often hard to measure the accuracy of one’s ML estimates. We present bidirectional Monte Carlo, a technique for obtaining accurate log-ML estimates on data simulated from a model. This...
متن کاملImportance Sampling via Variational Optimization
Computing the exact likelihood of data in large Bayesian networks consisting of thousands of vertices is often a difficult task. When these models contain many deterministic conditional probability tables and when the observed values are extremely unlikely even alternative algorithms such as variational methods and stochastic sampling often perform poorly. We present a new importance sampling a...
