Abstract: This tutorial serves as an introductory guide to Monte Carlo tree search (MCTS), a versatile methodology for sequential decision making under uncertainty through stochastic/Monte Carlo ...

Pharmaceutical controlled-release formulations are systems developed by a set of unit operations to achieve a satisfactory combination between a drug and excipients to allow its gradual release. These ...

Planning for retirement is full of uncertainties. How long will you live? Will the markets behave? How will inflation affect your lifestyle? For many, these questions are overwhelming, and the stakes ...

Repeated convolution and truncation of a truncated fat-tailed distribution, instead of Monte Carlo simulation, for pricing a discrete, simple barrier option is presented. The parameters for the ...

Asymmetric Simple Exclusion Processes (ASEPs) provide a fundamental framework for understanding non-equilibrium systems. These models describe particles that hop in a preferred direction on a lattice ...

Monte Carlo simulations have emerged as an indispensable tool in gamma‐ray spectrometry and detector calibration, offering nuanced insights into particle interactions and detector responses. By ...

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 ...

In this section we run a simulation study to illustrate the empirical error rates for the multi-metric decision rules with and without the alpha and power corrections ...
