High performance Monte Carlo computation for finance risk data analysis [PDF]
, 2013 This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Finance risk management has been playing an increasingly important role in the finance sector, to analyse finance data and to prevent any potential crisis ...

Crossed source-detector geometry for a novel spray diagnostic: Monte Carlo simulation and analytical results [PDF]
, 2005 Sprays and other industrially relevant turbid media can be quantitatively characterized by light scattering. However, current optical diagnostic techniques generate errors in the intermediate scattering regime where the average number of light ...

Mean exit times and the multilevel Monte Carlo method [PDF]
, 2013 Numerical methods for stochastic differential equations are relatively inefficient when used to approximate mean exit times. In particular, although the basic Euler–Maruyama method has weak order equal to one for approximating the expected value of the ...

Information-Geometric Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods Using Diffusions [PDF]
, 2014 Recent work incorporating geometric ideas in Markov chain Monte Carlo is reviewed in order to highlight these advances and their possible application in a range of domains beyond statistics. A full exposition of Markov chains and their use in Monte Carlo

Markov chain Monte Carlo methods for state-space models with point process observations [PDF]
, 2012 This letter considers how a number of modern Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods can be applied for parameter estimation and inference in state-space models with point process observations.

Hybrid Monte Carlo on Hilbert spaces [PDF]
, 2011 The Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm provides a framework for sampling from complex, high-dimensional target distributions. In contrast with standard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, it generates nonlocal, nonsymmetric moves in the state ...

Geodesic Monte Carlo on Embedded Manifolds [PDF]
, 2013 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

SMCTC : sequential Monte Carlo in C++ [PDF]
, 2009 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.

Multilevel Monte Carlo for continuous time Markov chains, with applications in biochemical kinetics [PDF]
, 2012 We show how to extend a recently proposed multi-level Monte Carlo approach to the continuous time Markov chain setting, thereby greatly lowering the computational complexity needed to compute expected values of functions of the state of the system to a ...
