Introduction: 192Ir is one of the important sources frequently used in brachytherapy. Up to now, a lot of commercial models of this source have been made which Ir-192 has been recently added to them. The aim of the present study is to determine the dosimetric parameters of this new source model based on the recommendations of TG-43(U1) protocol using Monte Carlo simulation tech...

Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful aid in many fields. In this thesis it is used for pricing of financial derivatives. Achieving accurate results with Monte Carlo is rather timeconsuming due to its slow convergence. However, there are ways to improve the accuracy of each simulation, for instance by reducing the inevitable discretization bias. In our financial context, this concerns the discre...

Monte Carlo and quasi Monte Carlo methods are simulation techniques that have been de signed to e ciently estimate integrals for instance Quasi Monte Carlo asymptotically outperforms Monte Carlo but the error can hardly be estimated We propose here to recall how hybrid Monte Carlo Quasi Monte Carlo have been developed to easily get error estimations with a special em phasis on the so called ran...

This paper deals with construction of confidence intervals for process capability index using bootstrap method (proposed by Chen and Pearn in Qual Reliab Eng Int 13(6):355–360, 1997) by applying simulation technique. It is assumed that the quality characteristic follows type-II generalized log-logistic distribution introduced by Rosaiah et al. in Int J Agric Stat Sci 4(2):283–292, (2008). Discu...
