Rare-event simulation concerns computing small probabilities, i.e. rare-event probabilities. This dissertation investigates efficient simulation algorithms base
We consider rare events modeled as a Markov Chain hitting a certain rare set. A sequential importance sampling with resampling (SISR) method is introduced to pr
