Abstract: This paper develops a variance reduction technique for Monte Carlo simulations of path-dependent options driven by high-dimensional Gaussian vectors. The method combines importance sampling based on a change of drift with stratified sampling along a small number of key dimensions. The change of drift is selected through a large deviations analysis and is shown to be optimal in an asymptotic sense. The drift selected has an interpretation as the path of the underlying state variables which... (Update)

...examples come from particle physics and Bayesian statistics. Spiky integrands also arise in computational finance (Glasserman, 1 Heidelberger Shahabuddin 1999, Owen Zhou 1999) computer graphics (Veach Guibas 1995) and reliability (Hesterberg 1995) For d = 1 and...

...distribution. The method combines importance sampling and stratified sampling in the spirit of Glasserman, Heidelberger, and Shahabuddin [22, 23, 24]. But the methods in [22, 23, 24] assumed a multivariate normal distribution and, as is often the case in importance sampling,...
