1. 1. Exploring the Impact of Pseudo and Quasi Random Number Generators on Monte Carlo Integration of the Multivariate Normal Distribution

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Statistiska institutionen

   Author : Marcus Stolz; Jonathan Christopher; [2024]
   Keywords : Monte Carlo integration; Quasi monte carlo integration; Random number generation; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : This thesis examines the effects of pseudo and quasi-random number generators on the accuracy and efficiency of Monte Carlo Integration in the case of the multivariate normal distribution. The study compares the performance of the Mersenne Twister (a pseudo-random number generator) with Sobol and Halton sequences (quasi-random number generators). READ MORE

3. 2. What is the effect of political coalitions on economic outcomes? : A Regression Discontinuity approach for Swedish municipalities during 1994-2017

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : Gustav Aronsson; [2023]
   Keywords : Close Elections; Political Coalitions; Economic Outcomes; Policy Convergence; Policy Divergence; Swedish Municipalities; Modified Sainte-Laguë method; Regression Discontinuity Design.;

   Abstract : This thesis identifies the effect of traditional political coalitions on the left-right spectrum in Swedish municipal politics on economic outcomes such as Municipal Revenues, Expenditures, Net-expenditures, Municipal Tax-rates, Unemployment, and the share of Municipal Employment. To do so, varying time spans of Swedish municipal data from 1994-2017 are used in a regression discontinuity design, basing its identification on quasi-random variation created by close municipal elections.

4. 3. Finite Element Analysis of Stresses in the MIST CubeSat due to Dynamic Loads During Launch

   University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner

   Author : Carl Järmyr Eriksson; [2021]
   Keywords : Satellite; CubeSat; Nanosatellite; Dynamic Loads; Launch Loads; Finite Element Analysis; FEA; Quasi-static Acceleration; Modal Analysis; Random Vibration; Shock Loads; satellit; CubeSat; nanosatellit; dynamiska laster; uppskjutningslaster; finita elementmetoden; FEM; kvasistatisk acceleration; modalanalys; stokastiska vibrationer; chocklaster;

   Abstract : A finite element model of the CubeSat MIST was created, in order to assess the stresses that occur in the satellite in response to loads during its launch. Due to size limits of thesoftware used, simplifications had to be made to the geometry of the model. READ MORE

5. 4. Pricing of a balance sheet option limited by a minimum solvency boundary

   University essay from KTH/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Josefine Bofeldt; Sara Joon; [2019]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Pension companies are required by law to remain above a certain solvency level. The main purpose of this thesis is to determine the cost of remaining above a lower solvency level for different pension companies. This will be modelled by an option with a balance sheet as the underlying asset. READ MORE

6. 5. Optimization under parameter uncertainties with application to product cost minimization

   University essay from Mälardalens högskola/Akademin för utbildning, kultur och kommunikation

   Author : Ann-Sofi Kidwell; [2018]
   Keywords : Monte Carlo simulations; Quasi Monte Carlo; Non-linear Optimization; quasi-random sequences; transformer design process;

   Abstract : This report will look at optimization under parameters of uncertainties. It will describe the subject in its wider form, then two model examples will be studied, followed by an application to an ABB product. The Monte Carlo method will be described and scrutinised, with the quasi-Monte Carlo method being favoured for large problems. READ MORE
