Statistical correlation in stratified sampling

A new efficient technique to impose the statistical correlation when using the Monte Carlo type method for the statistical analysis of computational problems is proposed. The technique is based on the stochastic optimization method called Simulated Annealing. The comparison with other techniques presently used and intensive numerical testing showed the superiority and robustness of the method. ...

Sampling and Sampling Distributions

A sample is a group of objects or readings taken from a population for counting or measurement. We shall distinguish between two kinds of populations — finite populations and infinite populations. The sample must be random, meaning that all possible samples of a particular size must have equal probabilities of being chosen from the population. This will prevent bias in the sampling process.
