Simulating heavy tailed processes using delayed hazard rate twisting
Consider the problem of estimating the small probability that the maximum of a random walk exceeds a large threshold, when the process has a negative drift and the underlying rand...

Kernel bandwidth estimation in methods based on probability density function modelling
In kernel density estimation methods, an approximation of the data probability density function is achieved by locating a kernel function at each data location. The smoothness of ...

Sampling search-engine results
We consider the problem of efficiently sampling Web search engine query results. In turn, using a small random sample instead of the full set of results leads to efficient approxi...

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 ...
