How to use statistical tools for component tolerance analysis. A look at methods such as Monte Carlo and Gaussian distribution. Simulating a dc-dc converter in LTspice to model closed-loop voltage ...

Not all Spice versions perform Monte Carlo simulations. Even those that do may only have a small number of available distributions, much less custom ones. LTSpice, for example, has built-in random ...

Tolerance analysis is an essential discipline in mechanical design and production, ensuring that variations stemming from manufacturing processes do not impede the functionality or reliability of ...

Vector computers provide a new tool for management scientists. The application of that tool requires thinking in vector mode. This mode is examined in the context of Monte Carlo experiments with ...

In this article we discuss the problem of assessing the performance of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms on the basis of simulation output. In essence, we extend the original ideas of Gelman ...
