On the Efficiency of the Splitting and Roulette Approach for Sensitivity Analysis
The paper is devoted to a brief review of a mathematical theory for the branching variance-reduction technique. The branching technique is an extension of von Neumann’s splittin...

Optimally Adaptive Integration of Univariate Lipschitz Functions
We consider the problem of approximately integrating a Lipschitz function f (with a known Lipschitz constant) over an interval. The goal is to achieve an error of at most using as...

Statistical and Computational Tradeoffs in Stochastic Composite Likelihood
Maximum likelihood estimators are often of limited practical use due to the intensive computation they require. We propose a family of alternative estimators that maximize a stoch...
