Quasi-Monte Carlo based uncertainty analysis: Sampling efficiency and error estimation in engineering applications

November 2019 - Posted: 11/8/2019

In probabilistic assessment via Monte Carlo sampling efficiency is of high importance. It is shown that Quasi-Monte Carlo mostly performs better than standard Monte Carlo. Depending on the smoothness of the function and the number of dominant parameters. Randomization techniques on Quasi-Monte Carlo allows assessing sampling accuracy.In probabilistic assessment via Monte Carlo sampling efficiency is of high importance.
