A splitting method to reduce MCMC variance
Robert J. Webber, David Aristoff, Gideon Simpson
We explore whether splitting and killing methods can improve the accuracy of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimates of rare event probabilities, and we make three contributions.…
Maximizing simulated tropical cyclone intensity with action minimization
David A. Plotkin, Robert J. Webber, Morgan E O'Neill +2
Direct computer simulation of intense tropical cyclones (TCs) in weather models is limited by computational expense. Intense TCs are rare and have small-scale structures, making it…
A Statistical Comparative Planetology Approach to Maximize the Scientific Return of Future Exoplanet Characterization Efforts
Jade H. Checlair, Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber +37
Provided that sufficient resources are deployed, we can look forward to an extraordinary future in which we will characterize potentially habitable planets. Until now, we have had…
