Adaptive importance sampling for network growth models
Network Growth Models such as Preferential Attachment and Duplication/Divergence are popular generative models with which to study complex networks in biology, sociology, and computer science. However, analyzing them within the framework of model selection and statistical inference is often complicated and computationally difficult, particularly when comparing models that are not directly relat...
متن کاملAdaptive Importance Sampling for Bayesian Inference in Gaussian Process Models
Gaussian process (GP) models are nowadays considered among the standard tools in modern control system engineering. They are routinely used for model-based control, timeseries prediction, modelling and estimation in engineering applications. While the underlying theory is completely in line with the principles of Bayesian inference, in practice this property is lost due to approximation steps i...
متن کاملLayered Adaptive Importance Sampling
Monte Carlo methods represent the de facto standard for approximating complicated integrals involving multidimensional target distributions. In order to generate random realizations from the target distribution, Monte Carlo techniques use simpler proposal probability densities for drawing candidate samples. Performance of any such method is strictly related to the specification of the proposal ...
متن کاملSafe Adaptive Importance Sampling
Importance sampling has become an indispensable strategy to speed up optimization algorithms for large-scale applications. Improved adaptive variants—using importance values defined by the complete gradient information which changes during optimization—enjoy favorable theoretical properties, but are typically computationally infeasible. In this paper we propose an efficient approximation of gra...
متن کاملAdaptive Multiple Importance Sampling
The Adaptive Multiple Importance Sampling (AMIS) algorithm is aimed at an optimal recycling of past simulations in an iterated importance sampling scheme. The difference with earlier adaptive importance sampling implementations like Population Monte Carlo is that the importance weights of all simulated values, past as well as present, are recomputed at each iteration, following the technique of...
