A more enlightening approach to testing a random number generator is to divide
the x-axis into subintervals, or bins,oflength x and count ... The command
rand(n,1) creates an array of n values from the U(0, 1) pseudo-random number generator. We then
apply sqrt to take the square root of each entry, exp to exponentiate and...

15.1 Motivation
Chapter 12 showed that valuing an option can be regarded as computing an ex-
pected value. The idea of using pseudo-random number ... number generators to compute
estimates of expected values was touched on in Chapter 4. Here we pull these two
threads together and introduce the Monte Carlo approach to valuing...
