| Abstract: | Retrospective simulation techniques offer flexible and powerful methods for enhancing well-established simulation tools such as Rejection Sampling, Importance Sampling, MCMC and Sequential Monte Carlo. Special cases have been known for a while (for instance coupling from the past for simulating from Markov chain stationary distributions). This presentation will touch on a number of applications of the methodology, including the exact simulation of diffusion sample paths, and other (apparently) infinite-dimensional simulation problems. The second half of the talk will present joint work with Krzysztof Latuszynski and Ioannis Kosmidis on a solution to the well-known Bernoulli factory problem: given a black box for generating from events of probability p, how can we construct a black box to generate events of probability f(p).
