关于重要抽样与适当加权抽样对目标分布的收敛性

On convergence of importance sampling and other properly weighted samples to the target distribution

S. Malefaki, G. Iliopoulos

摘要:

我们认为重要性抽样以及其他适当加权样本相对于目标分布$π$从不同的角度来看。通过考虑相关的权重为逗留时间,直到下一个跳跃,我们定义了适当的跳跃过程。当原始样本序列构成遍历马尔可夫链时,相应的跳过程是具有平稳分布$π$的遍历半马尔可夫过程。因此,适当加权的样本的收敛类型可能比加权均值的收敛类型更强。特别是,当样本是独立的,平均权重是有界的,我们描述了一个轻微的修改,以实现精确的(加权)样本的目标分布。

英文摘要:

We consider importance sampling as well as other properly weighted samples with respect to a target distribution $π$ from a different point of view. By considering the associated weights as sojourn times until the next jump, we define appropriate jump processes. When the original sample sequence forms an ergodic Markov chain, the associated jump process is an ergodic semi--Markov process with stationary distribution $π$. Hence, the type of convergence of properly weighted samples may be stronger than that of weighted means. In particular, when the samples are independent and the mean weight is bounded above, we describe a slight modification in order to achieve exact (weighted) samples from the target distribution.
