Improved Sampling for Biological Molecules Using Shadow Hybrid Monte Carlo
Shadow Hybrid Monte Carlo (SHMC) is a new method for sampling the phase space of large biological molecules. It improves sampling by allowing larger time steps and system sizes in the molecular dynamics (MD) step of Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC). This is achieved by sampling from high order approximations to the modified Hamiltonian, which is exactly integrated by a symplectic MD integrator. SHMC re...
متن کاملMonte-Carlo based uncertainty analysis: Sampling efficiency and sampling convergence
Monte Carlo analysis has become nearly ubiquitous since its introduction, now over 65 years ago. It is an important tool in many assessments of the reliability and robustness of systems, structures or solutions. As the deterministic core simulation can be lengthy, the computational costs of Monte Carlo can be a limiting factor. To reduce that computational expense as much as possible, sampling ...
متن کاملVariational Sequential Monte Carlo
Many recent advances in large scale probabilistic inference rely on variational methods. The success of variational approaches depends on (i) formulating a flexible parametric family of distributions, and (ii) optimizing the parameters to find the member of this family that most closely approximates the exact posterior. In this paper we present a new approximating family of distributions, the v...
متن کاملVariational Consensus Monte Carlo
Practitioners of Bayesian statistics have long depended on Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to obtain samples from intractable posterior distributions. Unfortunately, MCMC algorithms are typically serial, and do not scale to the large datasets typical of modern machine learning. The recently proposed consensus Monte Carlo algorithm removes this limitation by partitioning the data and drawing sam...
متن کاملQuasi-Monte Carlo sampling to improve the efficiency of Monte Carlo EM
In this paper we investigate an efficient implementation of the Monte Carlo EM algorithm based on Quasi-Monte Carlo sampling. The Monte Carlo EM algorithm is a stochastic version of the deterministic EM (Expectation-Maximization) algorithm in which an intractable E-step is replaced by a Monte Carlo approximation. Quasi-Monte Carlo methods produce deterministic sequences of points that can signi...
