Estimating Tail Probabilities of Random Sums of Phase-Type Scale Mixture Random Variables
Algorithms, 2022 We consider the problem of estimating tail probabilities of random sums of scale mixture of phase-type distributions—a class of distributions corresponding to random variables which can be represented as a product of a non-negative but otherwise ...

Optimality in noisy importance sampling [PDF]
Signal Processing, 2022 In this work, we analyze the noisy importance sampling (IS), i.e., IS working with noisy evaluations of the target density. We present the general framework and derive optimal proposal densities for noisy IS estimators. The optimal proposals incorporate the information of the variance of the noisy realizations, proposing points in regions where the ...

Parallelization Experience with Four Canonical Econometric Models Using ParMitISEM
Econometrics, 2016 This paper presents the parallel computing implementation of the MitISEM algorithm, labeled Parallel MitISEM. The basic MitISEM algorithm provides an automatic and flexible method to approximate a non-elliptical target density using adaptive mixtures of ...

Automatic Tempered Posterior Distributions for Bayesian Inversion Problems
Mathematics, 2021 We propose a novel adaptive importance sampling scheme for Bayesian inversion problems where the inference of the variables of interest and the power of the data noise are carried out using distinct (but interacting) methods.

Cut-off importance sampling of bole volume.
Silva Fennica, 1997 Cut-off importance sampling (CIS) is introduced as a means of sampling individual trees for the purpose of estimating bole volume. The novel feature of this variant of importance sampling is the establishment on the bole of a cut-off height, H, above ...

Importance is Important: Generalized Markov Chain Importance Sampling Methods
, 2023 We show that for any multiple-try Metropolis algorithm, one can always accept the proposal and evaluate the importance weight that is needed to correct for the bias without extra computational cost. This results in a general, convenient, and rejection-free Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling scheme.
