Everitt, R. G. (2018) Efficient importance sampling in low dimensions using affine arithmetic. Computational Statistics, 33 (1). pp. 1-29. ISSN 1613-9658 doi: 10.1007/s00180-017-0729-z

Abstract/Summary

Despite the development of sophisticated techniques such as sequential Monte Carlo, importance sampling (IS) remains an important Monte Carlo method for low dimensional target distributions. This paper describes a new technique for constructing proposal distributions for IS, using affine arithmetic. This work builds on the Moore rejection sampler to which we provide a comparison.
