  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 ...

  3. Stochastic simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_simulation

    Stochastic simulation. A stochastic simulation is a simulation of a system that has variables that can change stochastically (randomly) with individual probabilities. [1] Realizations of these random variables are generated and inserted into a model of the system. Outputs of the model are recorded, and then the process is repeated with a new ...

  4. 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.

  5. Markov chain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain

    Markov processes are the basis for general stochastic simulation methods known as Markov chain Monte Carlo, which are used for simulating sampling from complex probability distributions, and have found application in Bayesian statistics, thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, physics, chemistry, economics, finance, signal processing ...

  6. Monte Carlo method in statistical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method_in...

    The general motivation to use the Monte Carlo method in statistical physics is to evaluate a multivariable integral. The typical problem begins with a system for which the Hamiltonian is known, it is at a given temperature and it follows the Boltzmann statistics. To obtain the mean value of some macroscopic variable, say A, the general approach ...

  7. Monte Carlo methods in finance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_methods_in_finance

    In finance, the Monte Carlo method is used to simulate the various sources of uncertainty that affect the value of the instrument, portfolio or investment in question, and to then calculate a representative value given these possible values of the underlying inputs. [1] (". Covering all conceivable real world contingencies in proportion to ...

  8. Kinetic Monte Carlo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_Monte_Carlo

    The kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) method is a Monte Carlo method computer simulation intended to simulate the time evolution of some processes occurring in nature. Typically these are processes that occur with known transition rates among states. It is important to understand that these rates are inputs to the KMC algorithm, the method itself ...
