Monte Carlo Markov Chain Algorithms for Sampling Strongly Rayleigh Distributions and Determinantal Point Processes
Strongly Rayleigh distributions are natural generalizations of product and determinantal probability distributions and satisfy the strongest form of negative dependence properties. We show that the “natural” Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) algorithm mixes rapidly in the support of a homogeneous strongly Rayleigh distribution. As a byproduct, our proof implies Markov chains can be used to effici...
متن کاملTermination criteria for inexact fixed-point schemes
We analyze inexact fixed point iterations where the generating function contains an inexact solve of an equation system to answer the question of how tolerances for the inner solves influence the iteration error of the outer fixed point iteration. Important applications are the Picard iteration and partitioned fluid structure interaction. We prove that the iteration converges irrespective of ho...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of the Nested Fixed-point Algorithm
There have been substantial advances in dynamic structural models and in the econometric literature about techniques to estimate those models over the past two decades. One area in which these new developments has lagged is in studying robustness to distributional assumptions and finite sample properties in small samples. This paper extends our understanding of the behavior of these estimation ...
متن کاملComparison of measured and Monte Carlo calculated dose distributions from “circular collimators” for radiosurgical beams
Background: Stereotactic radiosurgery is an important clinical tool for the treatment of small lesions in the brain, including benign conditions, malignant and localized metastatic tumors. A dosimetry study was performed for Elekta ‘Synergy S ’ as a dedicated Stereotactic radiosurgery unit, capable of generating circular radiation fields with diameters of 1-5 cm at isocentre using the BEAM/EGS4...
متن کاملMonte Carlo methods for improper target distributions
Abstract: Monte Carlo methods (based on iid sampling or Markov chains) for estimating integrals with respect to a proper target distribution (that is, a probability distribution) are well known in the statistics literature. If the target distribution π happens to be improper then it is shown here that the standard time average estimator based on Markov chains with π as its stationary distributi...
