Comparison of Monte Carlo Simulations of Cytochrome b6f with Experiment Using Latin Hypercube Sampling

Comparison of Monte Carlo simulations of cytochrome b6f with experiment using Latin hypercube sampling.

We have programmed a Monte Carlo simulation of the Q-cycle model of electron transport in cytochrome b(6)f complex, an enzyme in the photosynthetic pathway that converts sunlight into biologically useful forms of chemical energy. Results were compared with published experiments of Kramer and Crofts (Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1183:72-84, 1993). Rates for the simulation were optimized by constructin...

Sample Size Requierement for Monte Carlo - simulations using Latin Hypercube Sampling

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...

An Empirical Evaluation of Sampling Methods in Risk Analysis Simulation: Quasi-monte Carlo, Descriptive Sampling, and Latin Hypercube Sampling

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...

Modified Latin Hypercube Sampling Monte Carlo (MLHSMC) Estimation for Average Quality Index

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....
