มอนติคาร์โลคืออะไร

# Core idea: approximate deterministic quantities
# using random sampling and the Law of Large Numbers

# Example: estimate probability that sum of two dice > 8
set.seed(42)
n <- 10000
die1 <- sample(1:6, n, replace = TRUE)
die2 <- sample(1:6, n, replace = TRUE)
total <- die1 + die2

# Monte Carlo estimate
mc_estimate <- mean(total > 8)
cat('MC estimate P(sum > 8):', mc_estimate, '\n')

# Exact probability
exact <- sum(outer(1:6, 1:6, '+') > 8) / 36
cat('Exact probability:', exact)

การประมาณค่า Pi ด้วยจุดสุ่ม

set.seed(42)
n <- 100000

# Random points in [-1, 1] x [-1, 1] unit square
x <- runif(n, -1, 1)
y <- runif(n, -1, 1)

# Check if inside unit circle: x^2 + y^2 <= 1
inside <- (x^2 + y^2) <= 1

# Pi estimate: fraction inside * area of square
pi_estimate <- 4 * mean(inside)
cat('Pi estimate:', pi_estimate, '\n')
cat('True pi:', pi, '\n')
cat('Error:', abs(pi_estimate - pi))

การประมาณค่าคาดหมาย

set.seed(42)
# Estimate integral of sin(x) from 0 to pi
# Exact value = 2
n <- 50000
x_samples <- runif(n, min = 0, max = pi)
integrand_vals <- sin(x_samples)

# MC estimate = (b-a) * mean(f(x))
mc_integral <- pi * mean(integrand_vals)  # (pi - 0) * mean
cat('MC estimate of integral:', mc_integral, '\n')
cat('Exact value: 2\n')
cat('Error:', abs(mc_integral - 2), '\n')

# Standard error of the estimate
se <- pi * sd(integrand_vals) / sqrt(n)
cat('Standard error:', se)

replicate() สำหรับการจำลองซ้ำ

set.seed(42)
# Simulate sample mean of 30 N(0,1) draws
# Repeat 10000 times to study sampling distribution
sample_means <- replicate(10000, {
  x <- rnorm(30)  # sample of 30
  mean(x)          # compute mean
})

# Central Limit Theorem: sample mean ~ N(0, 1/sqrt(30))
mean(sample_means)  # ~0
sd(sample_means)    # ~1/sqrt(30) = 0.183

# 95% CI width
diff(quantile(sample_means, c(0.025, 0.975)))

# Compare to theoretical
2 * 1.96 / sqrt(30)

การสาธิตกฎจำนวนมาก

set.seed(42)
# Rolling a fair die: true mean = 3.5
n_max <- 10000
rolls <- sample(1:6, n_max, replace = TRUE)
cumulative_means <- cumsum(rolls) / seq_along(rolls)

# Show convergence at different sample sizes
ns <- c(10, 100, 1000, 5000, 10000)
results <- data.frame(
  n = ns,
  mean = cumulative_means[ns],
  error = abs(cumulative_means[ns] - 3.5)
)
print(results)
# Error decreases as n increases

การลดความแปรปรวน: ตัวแปรแอนติเทติก

set.seed(42)
n <- 1000

# Standard MC: estimate E[exp(U)] where U~Uniform(0,1)
# True value = e - 1 = 1.718282
u <- runif(n)
mc_std <- mean(exp(u))

# Antithetic variates: use u AND 1-u
u_anti <- runif(n/2)
mc_anti <- mean((exp(u_anti) + exp(1 - u_anti)) / 2)

cat('True value:', exp(1) - 1, '\n')
cat('Standard MC:', mc_std, '\n')
cat('Antithetic MC:', mc_anti, '\n')

# Variance comparison
var_std  <- var(exp(runif(10000)))
var_anti <- var((exp(runif(5000)) + exp(1 - runif(5000)))/2)
cat('Variance ratio (anti/std):', var_anti/var_std)

ตัวแปรควบคุม

set.seed(42)
n <- 5000

# Estimate E[exp(U)] where U~Uniform(0,1)
# True: e - 1 = 1.71828

# Control variate: g(U) = U, E[U] = 0.5
u <- runif(n)
f_vals <- exp(u)  # target
g_vals <- u       # control variate

# Optimal coefficient c = -Cov(f,g)/Var(g)
c_star <- -cov(f_vals, g_vals) / var(g_vals)

# Control variate estimator
mc_cv <- mean(f_vals + c_star * (g_vals - 0.5))

cat('Standard MC:', mean(f_vals), '\n')
cat('Control variate MC:', mc_cv, '\n')
cat('True value:', exp(1) - 1)

# Variance reduction factor
var(f_vals) / var(f_vals + c_star * (g_vals - 0.5))
