Monte Carlo Errors with Less Errors
We explain in detail how to estimate mean values and assess statistical errors for arbitrary functions of elementary observables in Monte Carlo simulations. The method is to estimate and sum the relevant autocorrelation functions, which is argued to produce more certain error estimates than binning techniques and hence to help toward a better exploitation of expensive simulations. An effective ...
متن کاملFinite-size errors in continuum quantum Monte Carlo calculations
We analyze the problem of eliminating finite-size errors from quantum Monte Carlo QMC energy data. We demonstrate that both i adding a recently proposed S. Chiesa et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 076404 2006 finite-size correction to the Ewald energy and ii using the model periodic Coulomb MPC interaction L. M. Fraser et al., Phys. Rev. B 53, 1814 1996 ; P. R. C. Kent et al., Phys. Rev. B 59, 1917 ...
متن کاملIdentification of Logical Errors through Monte-Carlo Simulation
The primary focus of Monte Carlo simulation is to identify and quantify risk related to uncertainty and variability in spreadsheet model inputs. The stress of Monte Carlo simulation often reveals logical errors in the underlying spreadsheet that might be overlooked during day-to-day use or traditional “what if” testing. This secondary benefit of simulation requires a trained eye to recognize wa...
متن کاملOn Monte Carlo methods for Bayesian multivariate regression models with heavy-tailed errors
We consider Bayesian analysis of data from multivariate linear regression models whose errors have a distribution that is a scale mixture of normals. Such models are used to analyze data on financial returns, which are notoriously heavy-tailed. Let π denote the intractable posterior density that results when this regression model is combined with the standard non-informative prior on the unknow...
متن کاملA diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm with very small time-step errors
We propose modifications to the simple diffusion Monte Carlo algorithm that greatly reduce the time-step error. The improved algorithm has a time-step error smaller by a factor of 70 to 300 in the energy of Be, Liz and Ne. For other observables the improvement is yet larger. The effective time step possible with the improved algorithm is typically a factor of a few hundred larger than the time ...
