C# Class Accord.Math.Integration.MonteCarloIntegration

Monte Carlo method for multi-dimensional integration.

In mathematics, Monte Carlo integration is a technique for numerical integration using random numbers. It is a particular Monte Carlo method that numerically computes a definite integral. While other algorithms usually evaluate the integrand at a regular grid, Monte Carlo randomly choose points at which the integrand is evaluated. This method is particularly useful for higher-dimensional integrals. There are different methods to perform a Monte Carlo integration, such as uniform sampling, stratified sampling and importance sampling.

Public Methods

Method	Description
Clone ( ) : object	Creates a new object that is a copy of the current instance.
Compute ( ) : bool	Computes the area of the function under the selected Range. The computed value will be available at this object's Area.
Integrate ( double>.Func func, double a, double b, int samples ) : double	Computes the area under the integral for the given function, in the given integration interval, using a Monte Carlo integration algorithm.
Integrate ( double>.Func func, double a, double b ) : double	Computes the area of the function under the selected Range. The computed value will be available at this object's Area.
Integrate ( double>.Func func, double a, double b, int samples ) : double	Computes the area of the function under the selected Range. The computed value will be available at this object's Area.
MonteCarloIntegration ( int parameters ) : System	Constructs a new Monte Carlo integration method.
MonteCarloIntegration ( int parameters, double>.Func function ) : System	Constructs a new Monte Carlo integration method.
Reset ( ) : void	Manually resets the previously computed area and error estimates, so the integral can be computed from scratch without reusing previous computations.
