Automated Techniques for Efficient Sampling of Piecewise-Deterministic Markov Processes

Charly Andral, Kengo Kamatani

Piecewise deterministic Markov processes (PDMPs) are a class of continuous-time Markov processes that were recently used to develop a new class of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorith…

The Importance Markov Chain

Charly Andral, Randal Douc, Hugo Marival +1

The Importance Markov chain is a novel algorithm bridging the gap between rejection sampling and importance sampling, moving from one to the other through a tuning parameter. Based…

An attempt to trace the birth of importance sampling

Charly Andral

In this note, we try to trace the birth of importance sampling (IS) back to 1949. We found the classical formulation of IS in a paper from Kahn in June 1949. As for the appearance…
