What is Monte Carlo simulation? Answer: Monte Carlo simulation is a technique that allows people to run simulation many times to obtain numerical results or distribution of an unknown probabilistic entity. It was invented by Stanislaw Ulam in the late 1940s at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and was named after the Monte Carlo Casino where Ulam’s uncle often gambled [1]. Why is it used in analysis (generally)? Answer: Monte Carlo simulation is a very flexible technique and could easily be adapted

Last year my parents had been planning a trip to Europe. We left Melbourne and our journey took us to Doha, Qatar, from there we arrived in Rome and made our way to my Mums town. We then went to my Dads town and then to Sorrento. We went back to my Mums town to have my confirmation and to continue we went to Nice, France. From Nice was Paris, we took a train trip to Germany and then to Austria. We continued our way back to Italy staying in Venice, Florence and then to our last place…Rome. Firstly
There has been an increased interest in the class of Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMM) in the last 10 years. One possible reason for such popularity is that GLMM combine Generalized Linear Models (GLM) citep{Nelder1972} with Gaussian random effects, adding flexibility to the models and accommodating complex data structures such as hierarchical, repeated measures, longitudinal, among others which typically induce extra variability and/or dependence. GLMMs can also be viewed as a natural extension
Simulations "What I hear, I forget; what I see, I remember; what I do, I understand." Confucius, 451 BC General As young children, we all learn by doing. Toddlers learn to walk on their own with their parents standing by as guides, providing a safe environment that makes it possible for the child to learn. When a child enters the "formal education" system, unfortunately this rich environment of learning by doing often disappears. The education system is still stuck in the industrial age
The product development process is divided in many stages:- A. Introduction Stage: The enclosed forms and instructions will serve as a guide to obtain approval to pursue new product ideas, product enhancements, or modifications. The process has three approval stages: Concept Development (new products or modifications) Product Development Transition to program launch development B. Concept development Stage The Concept Development stage is intended to include a high-level overview of a new product
Introduction When Ford Motor Company saw rapidly changing technologies dramatically impacting how the world did business it also recognized that for the organization to remain competitive incorporating these technologies would be critical. The emergence of e-commerce presented an opportunity to improve company structure for information sharing and process changes that could also enhance relationships with suppliers, dealers and customers. This technology would, in the president's words, " allow
Reliability is one of the most important factors in circuit design. For modern CMOS technology, the circuit reliability is influenced by the shrinking of technology, the reduced supply voltage, higher frequency, and higher circuit density. These factors affects the circuit's probability of soft errors (also called single event upset). In addition, the process variation introduced in the fabrication process is also a big challenge for circuit designers because it makes the same circuit show different
Paul dreamed of leaving town. For instance, he was exhilarated by the Venetian scenes and streets of Paris depicted in the picture gallery. He loved to listen to his father speak of "palaces in Venice, yachts on the Mediterranean, and high play at Monte Carlo" (202). Also, when no one paid attention to his stories, Paul announced to his classmates that he would be leaving to travel for a while. These acts foreshadow Paul's fleeing to New York. The fact that he actually stole money to take this trip shows

The Woman With No Name in Monte Hellman's The Shooting Works Cited Missing Generally forgotten by critics, and classified as alternately a cult classic and a B-movie (in reference to both its budget and its reception), Monte Hellman's The Shooting is a film worth revisiting. At a remote camp in the middle of the desert, a Woman With No Name arrives to hire two men to lead her to the town of Kingsley, days after one of the camp members was shot dead and another ran away. On their descent into
Because of Velàzquez’ great skill in merging color, light, space, rhythm of line, and mass in such a way that all have equal value, he was known as “the painter’s painter,” as demonstrated in the paintings Las Meninas, Sebastiàn de Morra, and Baltasar Carlos and a Dwarf. Las Meninas is a pictorial summary and a commentary on the essential mystery of the visual world, as well as on the ambiguity that results when different states or levels interact or are juxtaposed. The painting of The Royal Family also

points first discovered in the 1930s near Clovis, N.M. The Chilean site, known as Monte Verde, is on the sandy banks of a creek in wooded hills near the Pacific Ocean. Even former skeptics have joined in agreeing that its antiquity is now firmly established and that the bone and stone tools and other materials found there definitely mark the presence of a hunting-and-gathering people. The new consensus regarding Monte Verde, described in interviews last week and formally announced Monday, thus represents
