Affine Point Processes: Approximation and Efficient Simulation

We establish a central limit theorem and a large deviations principle for affine point processes, which are stochastic models of correlated event timing widely used in finance and …

Rare Event Simulation for a Generalized Hawkes Process

In this paper we study rare event simulation for the tail probability of an affine point process that generalizes the Hawkes process. By constructing a suitable exponential …

Efficient Suboptimal Rare-event Simulation

Much of the rare-event simulation literature is concerned with the development of asymptotically optimal algorithms. Because of the difficulties associated with applying these …
