The holy grail of Internet personal finance sites has been to create a retirement-planning calculator that’s almost as good as a face-to-face consultation with a financial planner. Now some sites ...

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 ...

A recent report, “Risky Business: The Economic Risks of Climate Change in the United States,” co-chaired by Michael R. Bloomberg, Henry Paulson and Tom Steyer, suggests that “by 2050 between $66 ...

Monte Carlo simulations have become a cornerstone in quantitative finance, particularly in the pricing of complex options and in modelling volatility dynamics. This numerical method employs random ...

Monte Carlo methods are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results, i.e. by running simulations many times in succession in order to ...

Worst-case scenario simulations ensure manufacturing is prepared for all contingencies, but over-sizing or under-sizing may ensue. This results in larger than necessary filters and columns that may ...

We offer the scientific, government, business, and policy communities a simulation tool to predict and monitor the effects of the changing dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 select COVID-19) on the ...

Over the years, semiconductor process nodes have been scaled aggressively, with device dimensions now approaching below 5nm. This, along with lower device operating voltages and currents, has allowed ...

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