The Handbook in Monte Carlo Simulation features:
■ An introductory section for basic material on stochastic modeling and estimation aimed at readers who may need a summary or review of the essentials
■ Carefully crafted examples in order to spot potential pitfalls and drawbacks of each approach
■ An accessible treatment of advanced topics such as low-discrepancy sequences, stochastic optimization, dynamic programming, risk measures, and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods
■ Numerous pieces of R code used to illustrate fundamental ideas in concrete terms and encourage experimentation
