Some Probability Distributions and Their Uses,gamma, and composit. For each we give the density and cumulative distribution functions and calculate their mean and variance. At the same time we introduce several sampling techniques: cdf inversion, simulation, transformation, and rejection. Important Theorems presented with applications are the C

The Perron–Frobenius theorem is proved and used to show that regular Markov Chains have an invariant distribution which is the limit of the state probability vector as . increas

Random Walks,iffusion and from that, Brownian Motion. We examine the question of recurrence for random walks and in the process present Polya’s Theorem and Donsker’s Invariance Principle. Applications discussed include the derivation of option pricing in finance, self-avoiding walks, gambler’s ruin, the Kelly Cr

,Optimization by Monte Carlo Methods,te Carlo methods are well-suited to attack such problems. Two such methods are simulated annealing and genetic algorithms. Both are inspired by the natural world. In simulated annealing, the objective plays the role of energy in a thermal process to be minimized. Points of the solution space are sel

Markov Chain Monte Carlo,ics is developed as a prelude to studying the simulated annealing optimization method. The Boltzmann factor is derived from first principles. The application is made to the Ising Model and used to demonstrate the concept of phase change which sometimes occurs in simulated annealing implementations.

A genetic algorithm is a regular Markov Chain and has an invariant distribution so that eventually all potential solutions will be tried. These methods are demonstrated by the application to several problems: the Tra
