A New Method of Variance Reduction in Monte Carlo Integration

Öz

The Monte Carlo technique can be used as a method of statistical trials to calculate surface areas or object volumes by employing random numbers. It is especially helpful for complicated functions or irregular shapes in higher dimensional spaces. In this work, relying on a multinomial distribution, we give a fresh new look on Hit-or-Miss integration and present a technique called Ertended Monte Carlo lntegration (EMCI) by expressing the integral area of univariate functions in different forms. By taking the average of estimates from these forms it is possible to increase efficiency while maintaining a reasonable calculation speed. The application of this technique is demonstrated by using single-variable functions in the unit square. The method can be generalized to higher dimensions. There are very common cases in physics, chemistry, medicine, genetics and biology where there is no explicit function defining the region or the volume to be estimated. In these cases, instead of various function expressions, different rotations and reflections of the figure or object can be used. A distinct advantage of our method is its applicability to these problems. Investigating the suitability of the method to multi-core processors also seems promising.
