Assessing the Behaviour of Non-Survey Methods for Constructing Regional Input–Output Tables through a Monte Carlo Simulation

A New Approach for Monte Carlo Simulation of RAFT Polymerization

In this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of RAFT polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. The reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. The ...

Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Statistical Analysis of Tables

We describe a sequential importance sampling (SIS) procedure for analyzing two-way zero–one or contingency tables with fixed marginal sums. An essential feature of the new method is that it samples the columns of the table progressively according to certain special distributions. Our method produces Monte Carlo samples that are remarkably close to the uniform distribution, enabling one to appro...

Insight through Monte Carlo Simulation

strategies, quarantine policy, and the use of public health resources. This is true whether the pathogen’s dispersion is natural (for example, the spread of influenza in 1918) or deliberate (for example, the spread of anthrax via terrorism). Effective mathematical models can help us test a public health policy’s potential outcome and initiate an effective response. In this problem, we focus on ...

Effective mathematical models can help us test a public health policy’s potential outcome and initiate an effective response. In this problem, we focus on a simplified model of the spread of an infection and develop some tools that le...
