Analysis and Optimization of Weighted Ensemble Sampling∗
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a mathematical framework for weighted ensemble (WE) sampling, a binning and resampling technique for efficiently computing probabilities in molecular dynamics. We prove that WE sampling is unbiased in a very general setting that includes adaptive binning. We show that when WE is used for stationary calculations in tandem with a coarse model, the coarse model can be used to optimize the allocation of replicas in the bins.

Weighted Ensemble Clustering for Increasing the Accuracy of the Final Clustering
Clustering algorithms are highly dependent on different factors such as the number of clusters, the specific clustering algorithm, and the used distance measure. Inspired from ensemble classification, one approach to reduce the effect of these factors on the final clustering is ensemble clustering. Since weighting the base classifiers has been a successful idea in ensemble classification, in th...

متن کاملIdentifying rare chaotic and regular trajectories in dynamical systems with Lyapunov weighted path sampling
Depending on initial conditions, individual finite time trajectories of dynamical systems can have very different chaotic properties. Here we present a numerical method to identify trajectories with atypical chaoticity, pathways that are either more regular or more chaotic than average. The method is based on the definition of an ensemble of trajectories weighted according to their chaoticity, ...
متن کاملThe ensemble clustering with maximize diversity using evolutionary optimization algorithms
Data clustering is one of the main steps in data mining, which is responsible for exploring hidden patterns in non-tagged data. Due to the complexity of the problem and the weakness of the basic clustering methods, most studies today are guided by clustering ensemble methods. Diversity in primary results is one of the most important factors that can affect the quality of the final results. Also...
متن کاملThe "weighted ensemble" path sampling method is statistically exact for a broad class of stochastic processes and binning procedures.
The "weighted ensemble" method, introduced by Huber and Kim [Biophys. J. 70, 97 (1996)], is one of a handful of rigorous approaches to path sampling of rare events. Expanding earlier discussions, we show that the technique is statistically exact for a wide class of Markovian and non-Markovian dynamics. The derivation is based on standard path-integral (path probability) ideas, but recasts the w...
