RESTART swMATH ID: 2499 Software Authors: Villen-Altamirano, Manuel; Villen-Altamirano, Jose Description: RESTART: A method for accelerating rare event simulations This paper presents a method for accelerating simulations to estimate the probability of occurrence of rare events. The method, called RESTART (REpetitive Simulation Trials After Reaching Thresholds), is quite general and has a straightforward application, allowing dramatic reductions of the simulation time for an equal confidence of the results. The paper proves the efficiency of the method and shows an application example.
