Variance Reduction of Monte Carlo Simulation in Nuclear Engineering Field
The Monte Carlo method is a numerical technique that using random numbers and proba‐ bility to solve problems. It represents an attempt to model nature through direct simulation for any possible results, by substituting a range of values (a probability distribution) for any factor that has inherent uncertainty. The method is named after the city in the Monaco prin‐ cipality, because of roulette...
متن کاملVariance Reduction for Monte Carlo Methods to Evaluate Option Prices under Multi-factor Stochastic Volatility Models
We present variance reduction methods for Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate European and Asian options in the context of multiscale stochastic volatility models. European option price approximations, obtained from singular and regular perturbation analysis [J.P. Fouque, G. Papanicolaou, R. Sircar and K. Solna: Multiscale Stochastic Volatility Asymptotics, SIAM Journal on Multiscale Modeling a...
متن کاملTopics on Monte Carlo Simulation-Based Methods for Stochastic Optimization Problems: Stochastic Constraints and Variance Reduction Techniques
We provide an overview of two select topics in Monte Carlo simulationbased methods for stochastic optimization: problems with stochastic constraints and variance reduction techniques. While Monte Carlo simulation-based methods have been successfully used for stochastic optimization problems with deterministic constraints, there is a growing body of work on its use for problems with stochastic c...
متن کاملStochastic Variance-Reduced Hamilton Monte Carlo Methods
We propose a fast stochastic Hamilton Monte Carlo (HMC) method, for sampling from a smooth and strongly log-concave distribution. At the core of our proposed method is a variance reduction technique inspired by the recent advance in stochastic optimization. We show that, to achieve accuracy in 2-Wasserstein distance, our algorithm achieves Õ ( n+ κd/ + κdn/ 2/3 ) gradient complexity (i.e., numb...
متن کاملVariance Reduction Techniques in Monte Carlo Methods
Monte Carlo methods are simulation algorithms to estimate a numerical quantity in a statistical model of a real system. These algorithms are executed by computer programs. Variance reduction techniques (VRT) are needed, even though computer speed has been increasing dramatically, ever since the introduction of computers. This increased computer power has stimulated simulation analysts to develo...
