Abstract
An adaptive importance sampling methodology is proposed to compute the multidimensional integrals encountered in reliability analysis. It is based on a Markov simulation algorithm due to Metropolis et al. (Metropolis, Rosenbluth, Rosenbluth and Teller, Equations of state calculatons by fast computing machines. Journal of Chemical Physics, 1953;21(6): 1087-1092). In the proposed methodology, samples are simulated as the states of a Markov chain...
