Greedy Importance Sampling

 Dale Schuurmans
  
 

Abstract:
that explicitly searches for high density regions in the target distribution. I prove that the technique yields unbiased estimates, and show empirically it can reduce the variance of standard Monte Carlo estimators. This is achieved by concentrating samples in more important regions of the sample space.
