Rare-event sampling: Occupation-based performance measures for parallel tempering and infinite swapping Monte Carlo methods

Rare-event sampling: Occupation-based performance measures for parallel tempering and infinite swapping Monte Carlo methods

In the present paper we identify a rigorous property of a number of tempering-based Monte Carlo sampling methods, including parallel tempering as well as partial and infinite swapping. Based on this property we develop a variety of performance measures for such rare-event sampling methods that are broadly applicable, informative, and …
