Comparative Monte Carlo efficiency by Monte Carlo analysis [PDF]
We propose a modified power method for computing the subdominant eigenvalue $λ_2$ of a matrix or continuous operator. Here we focus on defining simple Monte Carlo methods for its application. The methods presented use random walkers of mixed signs to represent the subdominant eigenfuction.

Physically unclonable functions are used for IP protection, hardware authentication and supply chain security. While many PUF constructions have been put forward in the past decade, only few of them are applicable to FPGA platforms.

Motivated mainly by applications to partial differential equations with random coefficients, we introduce a new class of Monte Carlo estimators, called Toeplitz Monte Carlo (TMC) estimator for approximating the integral of a multivariate function with respect to the direct product of an identical univariate probability measure.

AbstractIn this paper we propose a new theory and methodology to tackle the problem of unifying Monte Carlo samples from distributed densities into a single Monte Carlo draw from the target density. This surprisingly challenging problem arises in many settings (for instance, expert elicitation, multiview learning, distributed ‘big data’ problems, etc.),

Error in Monte Carlo, quasi-error in Quasi-Monte Carlo [PDF]
While the Quasi-Monte Carlo method of numerical integration achieves smaller integration error than standard Monte Carlo, its use in particle physics phenomenology has been hindered by the abscence of a reliable way to estimate that error. The standard Monte Carlo error estimator relies on the assumption that the points are generated independently of ...

Density Estimation by Monte Carlo and Quasi-Monte Carlo
Estimating the density of a continuous random variable X has been studied extensively in statistics, in the setting where n independent observations of X are given a priori and one wishes to estimate the density from that. Popular methods include histograms and kernel density estimators.

Why Monte Carlo Simulations are Inferences and not Experiments [PDF]
Monte Carlo Simulations arrive at their results by introducing randomness, sometimes derived from a physical randomizing device. Nonetheless, we argue, they open no new epistemic channels beyond that already employed by traditional simulations: the ...

SMCTC : sequential Monte Carlo in C++ [PDF]
Sequential Monte Carlo methods are a very general class of Monte Carlo methods for sampling from sequences of distributions. Simple examples of these algorithms are used very widely in the tracking and signal processing literature.

Geodesic Monte Carlo on Embedded Manifolds [PDF]
Markov chain Monte Carlo methods explicitly defined on the manifold of probability distributions have recently been established. These methods are constructed from diffusions across the manifold and the solution of the equations describing geodesic flows
