Automated estimation of rare event probabilities in biochemical systems.
In biochemical systems, the occurrence of a rare event can be accompanied by catastrophic consequences. Precise characterization of these events using Monte Carlo simulation methods is often intractable, as the number of realizations needed to witness even a single rare event can be very large. The weighted stochastic simulation algorithm (wSSA) [J. Chem. Phys. 129, 165101 (2008)] and its subse...
متن کاملAn information-theoretic approach to improve the estimation of rare event probabilities in biochemical systems
The stochastic simulation algorithm (SSA) is extensively used to simulate biochemical systems. By generating realizations from the probability distribution governing the time evolution of each system, the SSA provides a numerical approach for quantitative estimation of system behavior. A consequence of this approach is the dependence of estimation accuracy on the number of realizations generate...
متن کاملEstimation of Rare Event Probabilities Using Cross - Entropy
This paper deals with estimation of probabilities of rare events in static simulation models using a fast adaptive two-stage procedure based on importance sampling and Kullback-Liebler’s cross-entropy (CE). More specifically, at the first stage we estimate the optimal parameter vector in the importance sampling distribution using CE, and at the second stage we estimate the desired rare event pr...
متن کاملMultilevel Splitting for Estimating Rare Event Probabilities
The estimation of rare event probabilities poses some of the of the most di cult computational challenges for Monte Carlo simulation and, at the same time, some of the greatest opportunities for e ciency improvement through the use of variance reduction techniques. Current interest in rare events stems primarily from developments in computer and communications technology: many industrial and sc...
متن کاملA Dynamic Importance Sampling Methodology for the Efficient Estimation of Rare Event Probabilities in Regenerative Simulations of Queueing Systems
Importance sampling (IS) is recognized as a potentially powerful method for reducing simulation runtimes when estimating the probabilities of rare events in communication systems using Monte Carlo simulation. When simulating networks of queues, regenerative techniques must be used in order to make the application of IS feasible and efficient. The application of regenerative techniques is also c...
