Monte Carlo simulation generate normal distribution

From the probability distributions for each of the variables on the right hand side, the values of K, p, o can be calculated. Assuming that the variables are independent, they can now be combined using the above rules to calculate K, p, o for ultimate recovery. Assuming the distribution for UR is Log-Normal, the value of UR for any confidence level can be calculated. This whole process can be performed on paper, or quickly written on a spreadsheet. The results are often within 10% of those generated by Monte Carlo simulation. 

Monte Carlo simulation is a procedure for mimicking observations on a random variable that permits verification of results that would ordinarily require difficult mathematical calculations or extensive experimentation. The method normally uses computer programs called random number generators. A random number is a number selected from the interval (0,1) in such a way that the probabilities that the number comes from any two subintervals of equal length are equal. For example, the probability the number is in the subinterval (0.1, 0.3) is the same as the probability that the number is in the subinterval (0.5, 0.7). Thus, random numbers are observations on a random variable X having a uniform distribution on the interval (0,1). This means that the PDF of X is specified by... 

In order to test observational errors nsing a fnll sample of unblended spectral lines, the Monte-Carlo method with a generator of normally distributed numbers was used. For N = 2545 measurements of magnetic fields on four yellow supergiants Aqr, a Aqr, e Gem, e Peg), including weak unblended spectral lines, the relation between mean the Monte-Carlo simulated standard error and the mean experimental standard error was estimated as = 1.033<(t>. Further, weak spectral lines for which z ro - rj < 0.2 were eliminated to strengthen the data uniformity. For A= 1844 measurements = 0.968<(t>. The discrepancy is 3.3 % in the first case and 3.2 % in the second case both appear to be very small. 

Monte Carlo simulations are an alternative to parametric and historical approaches to risk measurements. They approximate the behavior of financial prices by using computer-generated simulations of price paths. The underlying idea is that bond prices are determined by factors that each have a specific distribution. As soon as these distributions (e.g., normal distributions) have been selected, a sequence of values for these factors can be generated. By using these values to calculate bond prices (and thus portfolio returns), the method creates a set of simulation outcomes that can be used for estimating value at risk. 

In this contribution we showedhow confidence bounds of reliability growth processes can be generated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach. Our results are compatible with other analytical confidence bound concepts. We found that the rank distributions at certain time horizons are log-normal distributed. Using the confidence bound concept it is possible to make statistically sound decisions regarding a current development project or the development process itself.

First, the problem is solved using Monte Carlo simulation. It is possible to directly generate samples of M and Z since they follow Gaussian distributions. However, in order to generate samples from the lognormally distributed Y, its distribution parameters (the mean and standard deviation of the corresponding normal distribution) need to be estimated. The location parameter ly is calculated to be equal to 3.632611 and the scale parameter Cr is calculated to be equal to 0.0997513. It is trivial to code Monte Carlo simulation is a programming environment such as MATLAB. For this numerical example, the MATLAB codes would be... 

A multivariate normal distribution data set with the variance and mean given by this i and x was generated by the Monte Carlo method to simulate the process sampling data. The data size was 1000 and it was used to investigate the performance of the indirect method.
