稀有事件模拟中的有效重要性抽样及其应用

Efficient Importance Sampling for Rare Event Simulation with Applications

Cheng-Der Fuh, Huei-Wen Teng, Ren-Her Wang

摘要:

重要性抽样已被认为是一个强有力的工具,以减少方差的蒙特卡罗估计的稀有事件模拟。基于参数族内蒙特卡罗估计方差最小的准则,本文给出了寻找最优倾斜测度的一般性说明。为此,当底层分布的矩母函数存在时,我们得到了最优替代分布的简单而显式的表达式。该算法具有很强的通用性,可以覆盖正态分布、非中心$χ^2$分布和复合泊松过程等许多有趣的情形。为了说明我们的方法的广泛适用性,我们研究了金融风险管理中的风险价值(VaR)计算和统计推断中的自举置信区域。

英文摘要:

Importance sampling has been known as a powerful tool to reduce the variance of Monte Carlo estimator for rare event simulation. Based on the criterion of minimizing the variance of Monte Carlo estimator within a parametric family, we propose a general account for finding the optimal tilting measure. To this end, when the moment generating function of the underlying distribution exists, we obtain a simple and explicit expression of the optimal alternative distribution. The proposed algorithm is quite general to cover many interesting examples, such as normal distribution, noncentral $χ^2$ distribution, and compound Poisson processes. To illustrate the broad applicability of our method, we study value-at-risk (VaR) computation in financial risk management and bootstrap confidence regions in statistical inferences.
