Strongly Consistent Estimation of the Sample Distribution of Noisy Continuous-Parameter Fields
The general problem of defining and determining the sample distribution in the case of continuousparameter random fields, is addressed. Defining a distribution in the case of d...

Simulating heavy tailed processes using delayed hazard rate twisting
Consider the problem of estimating the small probability that the maximum of a random walk exceeds a large threshold, when the process has a negative drift and the underlying rand...

Improving convergence of the stochastic decomposition algorithm by using an efficient sampling technique
This work focuses on the basic stochastic decomposition (SD) algorithm of Higle and Sen [J.L. Higle, S. Sen, Stochastic Decomposition, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1996] for two-st...

Accurate statistics for local sequence alignment with position-dependent scoring by rare-event sampling
Background: Molecular database search tools need statistical models to assess the significance for the resulting hits. In the classical approach one asks the question how probable...
