Modern Monte Carlo methods -- Some examples and open questions (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Probability and statistics once had strong relations, but in recent years the two fields have moved into opposite directions. Despite this, I believe that both fields would profit if they continued to interact. Monte Carlo methods are one topic that is of interest to both probability and statistics: Statisticians use advanced Monte Carlo methods, and analyzing these methods is a challenge for probabilists. I will illustrate this, using as examples rare event estimation by sample splitting, approximate Bayesian computation and Monte Carlo filters.
