Abstract
In this paper, the optimal importance sampling, which is a variance reduction technique in Monte Carlo estimation, is theoretically studied in the case of electronic circuits. To the best of our knowledge, this problem has not previously been studied in electronic circuits. In this study, the theoretical basis of the optimal importance sampling is developed in the case where no approximate model of the circuit responses is given. Simulation results show good agreement with the theoretical basis
