Hastings-Metropolis algorithm on Markov chains for small-probability estimation***

Shielding studies in neutron transport, with Monte Carlo codes, yield challenging problems of small-probability estimation. The particularity of these studies is that the small probability to estimate is formulated in terms of the distribution of a Markov chain, instead...
