Correlation and Directionality

Correlation and Directionality

This is the second in a series of postings about correlation modelling.  In the first posting we discussed the idea of correlation as representing a proxy model of dependency between random variables. In this posting, we discuss the idea the often overlooked concept...

Calculation of Pi using Simulation and Other Approximations

Calculation of Pi using Simulation and Other Approximations

Just for fun, here we talk about using Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the value of π (3.14159…). A circle of radius one will have area equal to π, and a square drawn around that circle will have area 4. When centered at the origin the circle has the equation...
