Predicting reflectance functions from complex surfaces
We describe a physically-based Monte Carlo technique for approximating bidirectional reflectance distribution functions (BRDFs) for a large class of geometries by directly simulat...

Constrained Monte Carlo and the method of control variates
A constrained Monte Carlo problem arises when one computes an expectation in the presence of a priori computable constraints on the expectations of quantities that are correlated ...

Bayesian probabilistic matrix factorization using Markov chain Monte Carlo
Low-rank matrix approximation methods provide one of the simplest and most effective approaches to collaborative filtering. Such models are usually fitted to data by finding a MAP...

Markov models for digraph panel data: Monte Carlo-based derivative estimation
A parametric, continuous-time Markov model for digraph panel data is considered. The parameter is estimated by the method of moments. A convenient method for estimating the varian...
