A variance analysis of the Metropolis Light Transport algorithm

The Metropolis Light Transport algorithm is a variant of the classic Metropolis method used in statistical physics. A variance analysis of the Metropolis Light Transport algorithm is presented that bounds its variance in terms of the number of paths used and the intrinsic correlation between samples...
