Extensive MATLAB examples are paired with detailed explanations, while dedicated Simulink models extend the scope of applications to robotics, control systems, neural networks, cosmology, and more. By integrating step-by-step examples, code snippets, and exploratory exercises, the book fosters an interactive learning process that encourages readers to replicate, modify, and expand on the provided material. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombining theoretical background with extensive computational demonstrations, \u003ci\u003eMonte Carlo Integration with MATLAB and Simulink:\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers both deterministic and simulation-based integration methods with increasing depth and complexity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces advanced Monte Carlo sampling algorithms, including Gibbs Sampling  and Sequential Monte Carlo (Particle Filtering)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures over a dozen fully developed MATLAB examples with accompanying program code\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides detailed Simulink models for robotics, control systems, and scientific applications\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes problem sets with solutions available on a companion website\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHighlights the transition from classical integration to simulation methods for random processes\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncorporating classical integration techniques and cutting-edge simulation methods, \u003ci\u003eMonte Carlo Integration with MATLAB and Simulink\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable resource for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in applied mathematics, engineering, and computational sciences, as well as scientists, engineers, and researchers applying Monte Carlo integration in fields ranging from signal processing to robotics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface xiii\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments xxi\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Software xxiii\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations and Acronyms xxv\u003cbr\u003eList of MATLAB and Simulink Programs xxvii\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Companion Website xxxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Monte Carlo and Numerical Integration Methods 1\u003cbr\u003e2 Numerical Integration 3\u003cbr\u003e3 MATLAB Integral Programs 11\u003cbr\u003e4 Monte Carlo Integration 21\u003cbr\u003e5 Monte Carlo Integration: A Binary Choice 39\u003cbr\u003e6 Monte Carlo Integration of a Normal Probability Density Function 57\u003cbr\u003e7 Integration Using Importance Sampling 81\u003cbr\u003e8 Further Methods of Monte Carlo Sampling 97\u003cbr\u003e9 Metropolis–Hastings (MH) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) 125\u003cbr\u003e10 Gibbs Sampling 179\u003cbr\u003e11 Slice Sampling 207\u003cbr\u003e12 Hamiltonian Monte Carlo Sampling 219\u003cbr\u003e13 Sequential Monte Carlo or Particle Filtering 237\u003cbr\u003e14 Numerical Integration via Simulink 257\u003cbr\u003e15 Summary of Monte Carlo Integration Methods 309\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A Summary of Legendre–Gauss Quadrature Integration Method 313\u003cbr\u003eAppendix B Computation of Posteriori pdf for Gibbs Sampling 321\u003cbr\u003eAppendix C Hamiltonian Equations of Motion 331\u003cbr\u003eAppendix D MATLAB Notes 337\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 343\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematics%20%5BPB%5D%22\"\u003ePB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52433833525528,"sku":"9781394407040","price":103.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781394407040.jpg?v=1784854814","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/monte-carlo-integration-with-matlab-and-simulink-hardback-9781394407040","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
