Multilevel Control Functional
Kaiyu Li, Yiming Yang, Xiaoyuan Cheng +2
Control variates are variance reduction techniques for Monte Carlo estimators. They play a critical role in improving Monte Carlo estimators in scientific and machine learning appl…
Meta-learning Control Variates: Variance Reduction with Limited Data
Zhuo Sun, Chris J. Oates, François-Xavier Briol
Control variates can be a powerful tool to reduce the variance of Monte Carlo estimators, but constructing effective control variates can be challenging when the number of samples…
Vector-Valued Control Variates
Zhuo Sun, Alessandro Barp, François-Xavier Briol
Control variates are variance reduction tools for Monte Carlo estimators. They can provide significant variance reduction, but usually require a large number of samples, which can…
