Tail-Influence Sampling Optimizes CVaR Estimation in Stochastic Workflows
September 28, 2026
Tail-Influence Sampling (TIS) minimizes CVaR estimation variance by reallocating evaluation budgets toward queryable conditional laws with high tail uncertainty. The method uses a pilot model to derive influence scales, providing an efficient alternative to standard Monte Carlo rollouts for rare-failure analysis.
