Use this tag for accept-reject sampling methods. These are also known as rejection sampling methods. These methods sample a random variable from a dominating measure (h) and accepts the draw if an auxiliary random variable (a uniform) is less than the desired measure (g), so accept the draw if u<g. Otherwise draw another pair. You can think of this as sampling on a space with 1 additional dimension where the additional dimension is uniform under g.

Sampling according to a product of a known density and a probability function

Given a known density $p(x)$, I'd like to generate samples according to $q(x) \propto p(x) f(x)$, where $f(x)$ is some probability function, $\forall x f(x) \in [0, 1]$, e.g., a sigmoid function. One …
