Abstract
AbstractGeneralized Weighted Analog Sampling is a variance-reducing method for solving radiative transport problems that makes use of a biased (though asymptotically unbiased) estimator. The introduction of bias provides a mechanism for combining the best features of unbiased estimators while avoiding their limitations. In this paper we present a new proof that adaptive GWAS estimation based on combining the variance-reducing power of importance sampling with the sampling simplicity of correlated sampling yields geometrically convergent estimates of radiative transport solutions. The new proof establishes a stronger and more general theory of geometric convergence for GWAS.
