Optimality in Noisy Importance Sampling

7 Jan 2022  ·  Fernando Llorente, Luca Martino, Jesse Read, David Delgado-Gómez ·

In this work, we analyze the noisy importance sampling (IS), i.e., IS working with noisy evaluations of the target density. We present the general framework and derive optimal proposal densities for noisy IS estimators. The optimal proposals incorporate the information of the variance of the noisy realizations, proposing points in regions where the noise power is higher. We also compare the use of the optimal proposals with previous optimality approaches considered in a noisy IS framework.
