Multilevel Monte Carlo Path Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesOperations Research, 2008
We show that multigrid ideas can be used to reduce the computational complexity of estimating an expected value arising from a stochastic differential equation using Monte Carlo path simulations. In the simplest case of a Lipschitz payoff and a Euler discretisation, the computational cost to achieve an accuracy of O(ϵ) is reduced from O(ϵ−3) to O(ϵ−2 (

Markov chain simulation for multilevel Monte Carlo

open access: yesFoundations of Data Science, 2021
This paper considers a new approach to using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) in contexts where one may adopt multilevel (ML) Monte Carlo. The underlying problem is to approximate expectations w.r.t. an underlying probability measure that is associated to a continuum problem, such as a continuous-time stochastic process.

Multilevel Assimilation of Inverted Seismic Data With Correction for Multilevel Modeling Error

open access: yesFrontiers in Applied Mathematics and Statistics, 2021
With large amounts of simultaneous data, like inverted seismic data in reservoir modeling, negative effects of Monte Carlo errors in straightforward ensemble-based data assimilation (DA) are enhanced, typically resulting in underestimation of parameter ...

Multilevel Monte Carlo in approximate Bayesian computation [PDF]

open access: yesStochastic Analysis and Applications, 2019
In the following article we consider approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) inference. We introduce a method for numerically approximating ABC posteriors using the multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC). A sequential Monte Carlo version of the approach is developed and it is shown under some assumptions that for a given level of mean square error, this method ...

Multilevel Monte Carlo for Smoothing via Transport Methods [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, 2018
In this article we consider recursive approximations of the smoothing distribution associated to partially observed stochastic differential equations (SDEs), which are observed discretely in time. Such models appear in a wide variety of applications including econometrics, finance and engineering.

Bayesian multilevel model on maternal mortality in Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Big Data, 2021
Maternal mortality is one of the socio-economic problems and widely considered a serious indicator of the quality of a health. Ethiopia is considered to be one of the top six sub-Saharan countries with severe maternal mortality.
