Optimal L[subscript 2]-norm empirical importance weights for the change of probability measure

This work proposes an optimization formulation to determine a set of empirical importance weights to achieve a change of probability measure. The objective is to estimate statistics from a target distribution using random samples generated from a (different) proposal distribution. This work consider...
