You can’t predict the future, of course, but that doesn’t stop some financial professionals from trying. Of the many methods devised to anticipate different possible futures in financial planning, ...

Bob’s financial advisor just ran a “Monte Carlo analysis” for him.What’s a “Monte Carlo analysis”?It’s a tool used to test how a person’s retirement savings and plan would hold up given a variety of ...

Important events sometimes occur with too little notice. Occasionally, even a monumental development can escape adequate attention. An example of this occurred on Jan. 9. That day saw a historic ...

I am looking to estimate the potential for failure in a complex system using Monte Carlo simulation. I am quite familiar with using MC for engineering simulations, but have never approached the ...

A new method is using Monte Carlo simulations to extend the capabilities of transmission electron microscopy and answer fundamental questions in polymer science. With highly specialized instruments, ...

Worst-case scenario simulations ensure manufacturing is prepared for all contingencies, but over-sizing or under-sizing may ensue. This results in larger than necessary filters and columns that may ...

Monte Carlo simulations have become indispensable in radiation biology and dosimetry, enabling researchers to model with high precision the cascade of interactions that occur when ionising radiation ...
