In this post, I will introduce, explain and implement the Monte Carlo method to you. This method of simulation is one of my favourites because of its simplicity and yet it’s a refined method to…

Monte Carlo Methods, Made Simple

Towards Data Science

Imagine a 10 by 10 square on a coordinate grid. Some shape is drawn on that grid, but you don’t know what it looks like. However, you can query a function f(x, y) where (x, y) is the coordinate and…

Monte Carlo Methods Decoded

Towards Data Science

The Basics Imagine you have a big, mysterious jar full of different-colored marbles. There is one problem: you can’t see inside it to count how many of each color there are. You want to know which col...

A Gentle Introduction to Monte Carlo Methods

Towards Data Science

Monte Carlo methods are a broad class of computational algorithms that rely on repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results. The underlying concept behind these methods is the use of…

Monte Carlo Without the Math
