Ensemble samplers with affine invariance

TL;DR: A family of Markov chain Monte Carlo methods whose performance is unaffected by affine tranformations of space is proposed, and computational tests show that the affine invariant methods can be significantly faster than standard MCMC methods on highly skewed distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

On the statistical equivalence of restrained-ensemble simulations with the maximum entropy method.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the statistical distribution produced by restrained-ensemble simulations is formally consistent with the maximum entropy method of Jaynes, which clarifies the underlying conditions under which restrained-ensingmble simulations will yield results that are consistentwith themaximum entropy method.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Theory of Ultra-Coarse-Graining. 1. General Principles

TL;DR: Systematic variational UCG methods are presented that are specifically designed to CG entire protein domains and subdomains into single effective CG particles by augmenting existing effective particle CG schemes to allow for discrete state transitions and configuration-dependent resolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rare Event Simulation of Small Noise Diffusions

TL;DR: In this paper, an important sampling method for certain rare event problems involving small noise diffusions is proposed, where the second-order partial differential equation (PDE) associated with the diffusion is replaced by a Hamilton-Jacobi equation whose solution is computed pointwise on the fly from its variational formulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Galerkin approximation of dynamical quantities using trajectory data

TL;DR: This work presents a general framework for calculating dynamical quantities by approximating boundary value problems using dynamical operators with a Galerkin expansion, and shows that delay embedding can reduce the information lost when projecting the system's dynamics for model construction.
