“Statisticians
Kroese, Thomas Taimre (both U. of Queensland), and Zdravko I. Botev
(U. of Montreal)
offer researchers and graduate and advanced graduate students a compendium of Monte Carlo
methods, which are statistical methods that involve random experiments on a computer. There are a
great many such methods being used for so many kinds of problems in so many fields that such an
overall view is hard to find. Combining theory, algorithms, and applications, they consider such topics
as uniform random number generation, probability distributions, discrete event simulation, variance
reduction, estimating derivatives, and applications to network reliability.” (Annotation 2011 Book News
