  2. Monte Carlo method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method

    Monte Carlo method: Pouring out a box of coins on a table, and then computing the ratio of coins that land heads versus tails is a Monte Carlo method of determining the behavior of repeated coin tosses, but it is not a simulation. Monte Carlo simulation: Drawing a large number of pseudo-random uniform variables from the interval [0,1] at one ...

Monte Carlo Simulation, Prof. Don M. Chance, Louisiana State University; Pricing complex options using a simple Monte Carlo Simulation, Peter Fink (reprint at quantnotes.com)

  4. Variance reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variance_reduction

    The variance of randomly generated points within a unit square can be reduced through a stratification process. In mathematics, more specifically in the theory of Monte Carlo methods, variance reduction is a procedure used to increase the precision of the estimates obtained for a given simulation or computational effort. [1]

  5. MCSim - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCSim

    GNU MCSim is a simulation and statistical inference tool for algebraic or differential equation systems, optimized for performing Monte Carlo analysis. The software comprises a model generator and a simulation engine: The model generator facilitates structural model definition and maintenance, while keeping execution time short.

  6. Simulation decomposition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_decomposition

    SimDec, or Simulation decomposition, is a hybrid uncertainty and sensitivity analysis method, for visually examining the relationships between the output and input variables of a computational model. SimDec maps multivariable scenarios onto the distribution of the model output. [ 1 ]

  7. Monte Carlo methods in finance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_in_finance

    When calculating the delta using a Monte Carlo method, the most straightforward way is the black-box technique consisting in doing a Monte Carlo on the original market data and another one on the changed market data, and calculate the risk by doing the difference. Instead, the importance sampling method consists in doing a Monte Carlo in an ...

  8. Markov chain Monte Carlo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain_Monte_Carlo

    In statistics, Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) is a class of algorithms used to draw samples from a probability distribution.Given a probability distribution, one can construct a Markov chain whose elements' distribution approximates it – that is, the Markov chain's equilibrium distribution matches the target distribution.

  9. Direct simulation Monte Carlo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_simulation_Monte_Carlo

    The direct simulation Monte Carlo algorithm is like molecular dynamics in that the state of the system is given by the positions and velocities of the particles, {,}, for =, …,. Unlike molecular dynamics, each particle in a DSMC simulation represents F N {\displaystyle F_{N}} molecules in the physical system that have roughly the same ...
