Generalized Look-Ahead Methods for Computing Stationary Densities

Abstract

The look-ahead estimator is used to compute densities associated with Markov processes via simulation. We study a framework that extends the look-ahead estimator to a broader range of applications. We provide a general asymptotic theory for the estimator, where both L1 consistency and L2 asymptotic normality are established. The L2 asymptotic normality implies pn convergence rates for L2 deviation. Show more
