In Monte Carlo Integration: and consider how to evluate this integral numerically.
-
In Monte Carlo Integration: We can compute the expectation value of a function f(x) of this random variable as... (here starts an equation that is not recognised)
-
In The importance of sampling: (After the graph) drops like
1/\sqrt{N}
int the limit ofN→\infty
- but we will never practically reach it. -
In The importance of sampling: From Eq. (2) we see that we so not need to sample uniformly.
-
In Why approximate importance sampling eventually fails: This is related to the the very conter-intuitive fact thatin high-dimensional space "all the volume is near the surface".
-
In Metropolis Monte Carlo Metropolis \emph{et al.} solved this as:
Correct version
- and consider how to evaluate this integral numerically.
- Don't know what went wrong
- drops like
1/\sqrt{N}
in the limit ofN\rightarrow\infty
- but we will never practically reach it. - You reference equation (2), but there is no eq (2) in the whole page
