A method of rare event simulation, termed here quantum simulation, and known also (with some variations) as population Monte Carlo, and Sequential Markov Chain simulation, is appli...
State-dependent importance sampling (SDIS) has proved to be particularly useful in simulation (specially in rare event analysis of stochastic systems). One approach for designing ...
The distribution of possible future losses for a portfolio of credit risky corporate assets, such as bonds or loans, shows strongly asymmetric behavior and a fat tail as the conse...
A classical problem of stochastic simulation is how to estimate the variance of the sample mean of dependent but stationary outputs. Many variance estimators, such as the batch me...
Mapping the Internet generally consists in sampling the network from a limited set of sources by using traceroute-like probes. This methodology, akin to the merging of different s...
