Monte Carlo variance reduction techniques have become indispensable in radiation transport simulations, where the challenge of obtaining statistically significant results in deep-penetration problems ...
The extent to which variance reduction methods may induce extreme nonnormality in the distribution of estimates of a mean is explored. Practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
Recently, Dr. ZHENG Yu from Institute of Plasma Physics, Hefei Institutes of Chinese Academy of Sciences, proposed a new method to accelerate Monte Carlo large-scale shielding simulation, in ...
