The Random Sample sampling method is also known as Monte Carlo. Monte Carlo is the simplest and best-known sampling method. It draws values at random from the uncertainty distribution of each input ...

Identity-By-Descent (IBD) is a general measurement of the relationship between two groups of genes. If the two groups consist of two homologous genes, one from each individual, the IBD is called the ...

The Annals of Applied Probability, Vol. 9, No. 4 (Nov., 1999), pp. 1202-1225 (24 pages) This paper analyzes the performance of importance sampling distributions for computing expectations with respect ...

One of the classic approaches to studying retirement withdrawal rates is to use Monte Carlo simulations that are parameterized to the same historical data as used in historical simulations. This can ...

Monte Carlo studies of a sequential, two-sample, rank-sum test developed earlier by Wilcoxon, Rhodes and Bradley are reported. Ranking is accomplished within groups of observations in the sequential ...
