This article from IndexUniverse.com details just one of the ways Monte Carlo simulation can be tuned to the combined unfolding of time and risk. First, a little background. Since Harry Markowitz won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1990, the Efficient Frontier has...
Continuing with this series of articles introducing cost estimation with @RISK, we will compare the use of the most popular distributions of this technique: the Triangular and the PERT. We know that cost estimation is one of the most critical parts of project...
An IMF working paper this month contemplates the effectiveness of lending arrangements the institution makes to various countries around the world. The paper, “Assessing IMF Lending: A Model of Sample Selection,” seeks to identify and understand common factors that...
This article offers a simple and concise explanation of the Monte Carlo simulation: a technique that combines statistical concepts (random sampling) with the ability of computers to generate pseudo-random numbers and automate calculations. The key to Monte Carlo...
