Modified Latin Hypercube Sampling Monte Carlo (MLHSMC) Estimation for Average Quality Index
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Monte Carlo (MC) method exhibits generality and insensitivity to the number of stochastic variables, but it is expensive for accurate Average Quality Index (AQI) or Parametric Yield estimation of MOS VLSI circuits or discrete component circuits. In this paper a variant of the Latin Hypercube Sampling MC method is presented which is an efficient variance reduction technique in MC estimation. Theoretical and practical aspects of its statistical properties are also given. Finally, a numerical and a CMOS clock driver circuit example are given. Encouraging results and good agreement between theory and simulation results have thus far been obtained.

Exploring multi-dimensional spaces: a Comparison of Latin Hypercube and Quasi Monte Carlo Sampling Techniques
Three sampling methods are compared for efficiency on a number of test problems of various complexity for which analytic quadratures are available. The methods compared are Monte Carlo with pseudo-random numbers, Latin Hypercube Sampling, and Quasi Monte Carlo with sampling based on Sobol’ sequences. Generally results show superior performance of the Quasi Monte Carlo approach based on Sobol’ s...

This paper compares the performance, in terms of convergence rates and precision of the estimates, for six Monte Carlo Simulation sampling methods: Quasi-Monte Carlo using Halton, Sobol, and Faure numeric sequences; Descriptive Sampling, based on the use of deterministic sets and Latin Hypercube Sampling, based on stratified numerical sets. Those methods are compared to the classical Monte Carl...

متن کاملReproducibility of Soil Moisture Ensembles When Representing Soil Parameter Uncertainty Using a Latin Hypercube-Based Approach with Correlation Control
[1] Representation of model input uncertainty is critical in ensemble‐based data assimilation. Monte Carlo sampling of model inputs produces uncertainty in the hydrologic state through the model dynamics. Small Monte Carlo ensemble sizes are desirable because of model complexity and dimensionality but potentially lead to sampling errors and correspondingly poor representation of probabilistic s...
