Testo completoUsing an identity arising in path sampling, we then derive general expressions for the Kullback-Leibler (KL) and Jeffrey (J) divergences between two distributions with common support but from possibly different parametric families. These expressions naturally stem from path sampling when the popular geometric path is used to link the extreme densities. Expressions for the KL and J-divergences are also given for any two intermediate densities lying on the path. Estimates for the KL divergence (up to a constant) and for the J-divergence, between a posterior distribution and a selected importance density, can be obtained directly, prior to path sampling implementation. The J-divergence is shown to be helpful for choosing importance densities that minimize the error of the path sampling estimates.
Finally we present the results of a simulation study devised to investigate whether improvement in performance can be achieved by using the KL and J-divergences to select sequences of distributions in parallel (population-based) simulations, such as in the Sequential Monte Carlo Sampling and the Annealed Importance Sampling algorithms. We compare these choices of sequences to more conventional choices in the context of a mixture example. Unexpected results are obtained, and those for the KL and J-divergences are mixed. More fundamentally, we uncover the need to select the sequence of tempered distributions in accordance with the resampling scheme.

This thesis develops and evaluates Gap-tooth DSMC (GT-DSMC), a direct Monte Carlo simulation procedure for dilute gases combined with the Gap-tooth method of Gear, Li, and Kevrekidis. The latter was proposed as a means of reducing the computational cost of microscopic (e.g. molecular) simulation methods using simulation particles only in small regions of space (teeth) surrounded by (ideally) large gaps. This scheme requires an algorithm for transporting particles between teeth. Such an algorithm can be readily developed and implemented within direct Monte Carlo simulations of dilute gases due to the non-interacting nature of the particle-simulators. The present work develops and evaluates particle treatment at the boundaries associated with diffuse-wall boundary conditions and investigates the drawbacks associated with GT-DSMC implementations which detract from the theoretically large computational benefit associated with this algorithm (the cost reduction is linear in the gap-to-tooth ratio). Particular attention is paid to the additional numerical error introduced by the gap-tooth algorithm as well as the additional statistical uncertainty introduced by the smaller number of particles. We find the numerical error introduced by transporting particles to adjacent teeth to be considerable. Moreover, we find that due to the reduced number of particles in the simulation domain, correlations persist longer, and thus statistical uncertainties are larger than DSMC for the same number of particles per cell. This considerably reduces the computational benefit associated with the GT-DSMC algorithm. We conclude that the GT-DSMC method requires more development, particularly in the area of error and uncertainty reduction, before it can be used as an effective simulation method.

Testo completoGranger (1980) fand heraus, dass die Summe von m schwach seriell abhängigen AR(1)-Prozessen einen stark seriell abhängigen Prozess ergibt. Er nahm dabei an, dass m -> ∞ geht, die Verteilungen Gaußsch sind und die AR(1)-Parameter beta-verteilt über (0; 1) sind. Um die Hypothese zu testen, daß starke serielle Abhängigkeit in Klimazeitreihen von dieser \"Aggregation\" rührt, kann das Ergebnis von Granger (1980) jedoch nicht direkt angewendet werden. Erstens: die Anzahl \"mikroklimatischer\", zu summierender Prozesse is endlich. Zweitens: Klimaprozesse erzeugen oft rechtsschief verteilte Daten. Drittens: die AR(1)-Parameter der mikroklimatischen Prozesse mögen auf ein engeres Intervall begrenzt sein als (0; 1). Wir f¨uhren deshalb Monte-Carlo-Simulationen durch, um die Aggregation in Klimazeitreihen für realistische Bedingungen zu studieren. Der Parameter H, der die starke serielle Abhängigkeit beschreibt, wird geschätzt durch die Anpassung eines ARFIMA-Modelles an unterschiedliche Aggregations-Typen. Unsere Ergebnisse sind wie folgt. Erstens: für m oberhalb einiger hundert erreicht H S¨attigung. Zweitens: die Verteilungsform hat geringen Einfluß, wie von Granger (1980) bemerkt. Drittens: die obere Grenze des Intervalles für den AR(1)-Parameter hat einen starken Einfluß auf den Sättigungwert von H, wie von Granger (1980) bemerkt

Testo completoRadiative heat transfer in participating media is among the most challenging computational engineering problems due to the complex nonlinear, nonlocal nature of radiation transport. Many approximate methods have been developed in order to resolve radiative heat transfer in participating media; but approximate methods, by the nature of their approximations, suffer from various shortcomings both in terms of accuracy and robustness. The only methods that can resolve radiative transfer accurately in all configurations are the statistical Monte Carlo-based methods. While the Monte Carlo (MC) method is the most accurate method for resolving radiative heat transfer, it is also notoriously computationally prohibitive in large-scale simulations. To overcome this computational burden, this study details the development of a quasi-Monte Carlo (QMC) method for thermal radiation in participating media with a focus on combustion-related problems. The QMC method employs a low-discrepancy sequence (LDS) in place of the traditional random number sampling mechanism used in Monte Carlo methods to increase computational efficiency. In order to analyze the performance of the QMC method, a systematic comparison of accuracy and computational expense was performed. The QMC method was validated against formal solutions of radiative heat transfer in several one-dimensional configurations and extended to three practical combustion configurations: a turbulent jet flame, a high-pressure industrial gas turbine, and a high-pressure spray combustion chamber. The results from QMC and traditional Monte Carlo are compared against benchmark solutions for each case. It is shown that accuracy of the predicted radiation field from QMC is comparable to MC at lower computational costs. Three different low-discrepancy sequences—Sobol, Halton, and Niederreiter—were examined as part of this work. Finally, recommendations are made in terms of choice of the sequence and the number of the dimensions of the LDS for combustion-relevant configurations. In conclusion, significant improvements in computational costs and accuracy seen in the QMC method makes it a viable alternative to traditional Monte Carlo methods in high-fidelity simulations.

Testo completoENGLISH ABSTRACT: Neutrino and antineutrino detection is a fairly new eld of experimental physics, mostly due to the small interaction cross section of these particles. Most of the detectors in use today are huge detectors consisting of kilotons of scintilator material and large arrays of photomultiplier tubes. Direction sensitive antineutrino detection has however, not been done (at the time of writing of this thesis). In order to establish the feasibility of direction sensitive antineutrino detection, a Monte Carlo code, DSANDS, was written to simulate the detection process. This code focuses on the neutron and positron (the reaction products after capture on a proton) transport through scintilator media. The results are then used to determine the original direction of the antineutrino, in the same way that data from real detectors would be used, and to compare it with the known direction. Further investigation is also carried out into the required amount of statistics for accurate results in an experimental eld where detection events are rare. Results show very good directional sensitivity of the detection method.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Neutrino en antineutrino meting is 'n relatief nuwe veld in eksperimentele sika, hoofsaaklik as gevolg van die klein interaksie deursnee van hierdie deeltjies. Die meeste hedendaagse detektors is massiewe detektors met kilotonne sintilator materiaal en groot aantalle fotovermenigvuldiger buise. Tans is rigting sensitiewe antineutrino metings egter nog nie uit gevoer nie. 'n Monte Carlo kode, DSANDS, is geskryf om die meet proses te simuleer en sodoende die uitvoerbaarheid van rigting sensitiewe antineutrino metings vas te stel. Hierdie kode fokus op die beweging van neutrone en positrone (die reaksie produkte) deur die sintilator medium. Die resultate word dan gebruik om die oorspronklike rigting van die antineutrino te bepaal, soos met data van regte detektors gedoen sou word, en te vergelyk met die bekende oorspronklike rigting van die antineutrino. Verder word daar ook gekyk na die hoeveelheid statistiek wat nodig sal wees om akkurate resultate te kry in 'n veld waar metings baie skaars is. Die resultate wys baie goeie rigting sensitiwiteit van die meet metode.

Testo completoWe discuss efficient Monte Carlo methods for pricing of electricity derivatives. Electricity derivatives are risk management tools used in deregulated electricity markets. In the past,research in electricity derivatives has been dedicated in the modelling of the behaviour of electricity spot prices. Some researchers have used the geometric Brownian motion and the Black Scholes formula to offer a closed-form solution. Electricity spot prices however have unique characteristics such as mean-reverting, non-storability and spikes that render the use of geometric Brownian motion inadequate. Geometric Brownian motion assumes that changes of the underlying asset are continuous and electricity spikes are far from being continuous. Recently there is a greater consensus on the use of Mean-Reverting Jump-Diffusion (MRJD) process to describe the evolution of electricity spot prices. In this thesis,we use Mean-Reverting Jump-Diffusion process to model the evolution of electricity spot prices. Since there is no closed-form technique to price these derivatives when the underlying electricity spot price is assumed to follow MRJD, we use Monte Carlo methods to value electricity forward contracts. We present variance reduction techniques that improve the accuracy of the Monte Carlo Method for pricing electricity derivatives.

Testo completo第二章是本文的第一部分。在这章中,我们将美式期权的敏感性估计问题提成了更具一般性的估计问题:如果一个随机最优化问题依赖于某些模型参数, 我们该如何估计其最优目标函数关于参数的敏感性。在该问题中, 由于最优决策关于模型参数可能不连续,传统的无穷小扰动分析方法不能直接应用。针对这个困难,我们提出了一种广义的无穷小扰动分析方法,得到敏感性的无偏估计。 我们的方法显示, 在估计敏感性时, 其实并不需要样本路径关于参数的可微性。这是我们在理论上的新发现。另一方面, 该方法可以非常容易的应用于美式期权的敏感性估计。在实际应用中敏感性的无偏估计可以直接嵌入流行的美式期权定价算法,从而同时得到期权价格和价格关于模型参数的敏感性。包括高维问题和多种不同的随机过程模型在内的数值实验, 均显示该估计在计算上具有显著的优越性。最后,我们还从理论上刻画了美式期权的近似最优执行策略对敏感性估计的影响,给出了误差上界。
第三章是本文的第二部分。在本章中,我们研究投资组合的风险估计问题。该问题也可被推广成一个一般性的估计问题:如何估计条件期望在作用上一个非线性泛函之后的期望。针对该类估计问题,我们提出了一种多层模拟方法。我们的估计量实际上是一些简单嵌套估计量的线性组合。我们的方法非常容易实现,并且可以被广泛应用于不同的问题结构。理论分析表明我们的方法适用于不同维度的问题并且算法复杂性低于文献中现有的方法。包括低维和高维的数值实验验证了我们的理论分析。
This dissertation mainly consists of two parts: a generalized infinitesimal perturbation analysis (IPA) approach for American option sensitivities estimation and a multilevel Monte Carlo simulation approach for portfolio risk estimation.
In the first part, we develop efficient Monte Carlo methods for estimating American option sensitivities. The problem can be re-formulated as how to perform sensitivity analysis for a stochastic optimization problem when it has model uncertainty. We introduce a generalized IPA approach to resolve the difficulty caused by discontinuity of the optimal decision with respect to the underlying parameter. The unbiased price-sensitivity estimators yielded from this approach demonstrate significant advantages numerically in both high dimensional environments and various process settings. We can easily embed them into many of the most popular pricing algorithms without extra simulation effort to obtain sensitivities as a by-product of the option price. This generalized approach also casts new insights on how to perform sensitivity analysis using IPA: we do not need pathwise differentiability to apply it. Another contribution of this chapter is to investigate how the estimation quality of sensitivities will be affected by the quality of approximated exercise times.
In the second part, we propose a multilevel nested simulation approach to estimate the expectation of a nonlinear function of a conditional expectation, which has a direct application in portfolio risk estimation problems under various risk measures. Our estimator consists of a linear combination of several standard nested estimators. It is very simple to implement and universally applicable across various problem settings. The results of theoretical analysis show that the algorithmic complexities of our estimators are independent of the problem dimensionality and are better than other alternatives in the literature. Numerical experiments, in both low and high dimensional settings, verify our theoretical analysis.

Testo completoFifth, we study in detail pricing option problems by using the Monte Carlo method. Then we present a new method on pricing American option, by which, the required memory in computation can be significantly reduced. For most methods of pricing American options, bias exists. However, by using the memory reduction method, minimizing biases is possible. We also discuss the problem for valuation of multiasset options by using our method. In fact, this is an important application of the Monte Carlo method in practical financial problems.
Finally, comparisons of the performances of these numerical results are presented.
Some basic concepts on options are first introduced. Then general methods for pricing options are described. These methods include: analytical formula, finite difference methods and binomial and multinomial methods. These prepare us for the in-depth study on the Monte Carlo method in subsequent chapters.
The Monte Carlo approach has proved to be a valuable and flexible computational tool in modern finance. The Monte Carlo method is the main topic of the thesis.
