A standard convention for particle-level Monte Carlo event-variation weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
Streams of event weights in particle-level Monte Carlo generators are a convenient and immensely CPU-efficient approach to express systematic uncertainties phenomenology calculations, providing variations on the nominal prediction within single sample. But lack common standard for labelling these variation streams across different tools has proven be major limitation event-processing analysers alike. Here we propose well-defined, extensible community naming, ordering, interpretation weight that will serve as basis semantically correct parsing combination such both theoretical experimental studies.

Sequential Monte Carlo for rare event estimation
This paper discusses a novel strategy for simulating rare events and an associated Monte Carlo estimation of tail probabilities. Our method uses a system of interacting particles and exploits a FeynmanKac representation of that system to analyze their fluctuations. Our precise analysis of the variance of a standard multilevel splitting algorithm reveals an opportunity for improvement. This lead...

متن کاملImprovement Strategies for Monte Carlo Particle Filters
The particle filtering field has seen an upsurge in interest over recent years and accompanying this a number of enhancements to the basic techniques have been suggested in the literature. In this paper we collect together a group of these developments which seem to be particularly important for time series applications and give a broad discussion of the methods, showing the interrelationships ...
متن کاملParticle Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods have emerged as the two main tools to sample from high-dimensional probability distributions. Although asymptotic convergence of MCMC algorithms is ensured under weak assumptions, the performance of these latters is unreliable when the proposal distributions used to explore the space are poorly chosen and/or if highly corr...
متن کاملA Test Particle Monte Carlo Method
-A Monte Carlo technique was developed suitable for investigating rarefied gas dynamics problems. The procedure is based on the 'test particle' method. The discontinuous function frequently employed for describing the target molecules' velocity distribution is replaced here by a continuous analytic function, the form of which is prescribed prior to the calculations. This modification simplifies...
