acv_independent_sampling

Approximate control variate (ACV) algorithm that employs independent samples per model

Specification

  • Alias: acv_is

  • Arguments: None

Description

This ACV variant uses sample set definitions that are similar to multilevel Monte Carlo (MLMC), in that independent sample sets are defined for each level and span a pair of consecutive models within a sequence.

Theory

Refer to [GGEJ20] for a helpful sample set diagram.
