We introduce the celebrated score function method for sensitivity analysis, and two alternative methods forMonteCarlo optimization, the so- FUNCTIONS OF RANDOM VARIABLES ... The main difference is that the former do not evolve in time, while the latter do. Forthe latter, we distinguish between finite-horizon and steady-state simulation. Two popular methods for...

We consider the inverse-transform method, the alias method, the composition method, and the acceptance-rejection method. 2.3.1 Inverse-Transform Method Let X be a random ... from the multidimensional proposal pdf g(x), for example, by using the vector inverse-transform method.

The theoretical basis of the acceptance-rejection method is provided by the following theorem. Theorem 2.3.1 The random variable generated...

The nodes repre- sent cities, and the edges represent the roads between the cities. The problem is to randomly generate a tour that visits all the cities exactly once except forthe starting...
