Researchers introduce pliable rejection sampling using kernel estimators

Researchers have introduced pliable rejection sampling (PRS), a novel method designed to improve the efficiency of sampling from complex probability distributions. Traditional rejection sampling methods often suffer from high rejection rates, limiting their practical use. PRS addresses this by employing a kernel estimator to learn the sampling proposal, offering a performance guarantee on the number of accepted samples while ensuring the generated samples are i.i.d. and correctly distributed. AI
