Monte Carlo variance reduction techniques have become indispensable in radiation transport simulations, where the challenge of obtaining statistically significant results in deep-penetration problems ...

Numbers are rather useful. This is unfortunate, because they're also rather confusing. Our brains have a hard time making sense of lists of numbers, so we employ an imaginary friend to help us — the ...

Advisors and websites often show clients the results of large numbers of Monte Carlo simulations. It is hoped that clients will be calmed by pursuing avenues predicted to have a 90% chance of success.

I am looking to estimate the potential for failure in a complex system using Monte Carlo simulation. I am quite familiar with using MC for engineering simulations, but have never approached the ...
