Insight through Monte Carlo Simulation

چکیده
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 a simplified model of the spread of an infection and develop some tools that lend insight into its behavior. To make our problem as easy as possible, we impose some rather artificial assumptions. Suppose we have nm patients in a hospital ward and that their beds are arranged as n rows of m beds. For convenience, we’ll let m be an even number. Suppose also that one of the patients, the one in bed m/2 in row n/2, becomes infected and can infect any patient in a neighboring bed. How will this infection spread through the ward?

متن کاملApplication of Monte Carlo Simulation in the Assessment of European Call Options
In this paper, the pricing of a European call option on the underlying asset is performed by using a Monte Carlo method, one of the powerful simulation methods, where the price development of the asset is simulated and value of the claim is computed in terms of an expected value. The proposed approach, applied in Monte Carlo simulation, is based on the Black-Scholes equation which generally def...
