This paper concerns the use of sequential Monte Carlo methods (SMC) for smoothing in general state space models. A well-known problem when applying the standard SMC technique in the smoothing mode is ...

Monte Carlo methods have become indispensable in simulating light transport due to their flexibility in handling complex phenomena such as scattering, absorption, and emission in heterogeneous media.

We consider the application of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) estimation methods to random-effects models and in particular the family of discrete time survival models. Survival models can be used in ...
