An efficient estimation of nested expectations without conditional sampling
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimating nested expectations is an important task in computational mathematics and statistics. In this paper we propose a new Monte Carlo method using post-stratification to estimate efficiently without taking samples of the inner random variable from conditional distribution given outer variable. This property provides advantage over many existing methods that it enables us only with dataset on pair variables drawn joint distribution. We show upper bound mean squared error proposed under some assumptions. Numerical experiments are conducted compare our several (nested method, multilevel regression-based method), see superior compared terms efficiency applicability.

Robust Efficient Conditional Probability Estimation
The problem is finding a general, robust, and efficient mechanism for estimating a conditional probability P (y|x) where robustness and efficiency are measured using techniques from learning reductions. In particular, suppose we have access to a binary regression oracle B which has two interfaces—one for specifying training information and one for testing. Training information is specified as B...
متن کاملAn efficient model-free estimation of multiclass conditional probability
Conventional multiclass conditional probability estimation methods, such as Fisher’s discriminate analysis and logistic regression, often require restrictive distributional model assumption. In this paper, a model-free estimation method is proposed to estimate multiclass conditional probability through a series of conditional quantile regression functions. Specifically, the conditional class pr...
متن کاملNonstandard Estimation of Inverse Conditional Density-Weighted Expectations
This paper is concerned with the semiparametric estimation of function means that are scaled by an unknown conditional density function. Parameters of this form arise naturally in the consideration of models where interest is focused on the expected value of an integral of a conditional expectation with respect to a continuously distributed “special regressor” with unbounded support. In particu...
متن کاملEfficient Risk Estimation via Nested Sequential Simulation
W analyze the computational problem of estimating financial risk in a nested simulation. In this approach, an outer simulation is used to generate financial scenarios, and an inner simulation is used to estimate future portfolio values in each scenario. We focus on one risk measure, the probability of a large loss, and we propose a new algorithm to estimate this risk. Our algorithm sequentially...
متن کاملOn estimation of conditional density models with two-phase sampling
Suppose that the conditional density of a response variable given a vector of explanatory variables is parametrically modelled, and that data are collected by a two-phase sampling design. First, a simple random sample is drawn from the population. The stratum membership in a finite number of strata of the response and explanatory variables is recorded for each unit. Second, a subsample is drawn...
