{{task|Probability and statistics}}A '''Monte Carlo Simulation''' is a way of approximating the value of a function where calculating the actual value is difficult or impossible. It uses random sampling to define constraints on the value and then makes a sort of "best guess."
 
A '''Monte Carlo Simulation''' is a way of approximating the value of a function
A simple Monte Carlo Simulation can be used to calculate the value for π. If you had a circle and a square where the length of a side of the square was the same as the diameter of the circle, the ratio of the area of the circle to the area of the square would be π/4. So, if you put this circle inside the square and select many random points inside the square, the number of points inside the circle divided by the number of points inside the square and the circle would be approximately π/4.

A simple Monte Carlo Simulation can be used to calculate the value for <big><math>\pi</math></big>.
Write a function to run a simulation like this with a variable number of random points to select. Also, show the results of a few different sample sizes.
 
For software where the number π is not built-in, we give π to a couple of digits: 3.141592653589793238462643383280

The implementation uses built-in uniformly distributed on [0,1] random numbers. Note that the accuracy of the result depends on the quality of the pseudo random generator: its circle length and correlation to the function being simulated. Sample output:

A less elegant way to solve the problem, is to imagine a (well-trained) monkey, throwing a number of darts at a dartboard.
 
The darts land randomly on the board, at different x and y coordinates. We want to know how many darts land inside the circle. We then guess Pi by dividing the total number of darts inside the circle by the total number of darts thrown (assuming they all hit the square board), and multiplying the whole lot by 4.
 
We create a function ''MonkeyDartsPi'', which can take a variable number of throws as input:
<syntaxhighlight lang="wolfram language">MonkeyDartsPi[numberOfThrows_] := (
xyCoordinates = RandomReal[{0, 1}, {numberOfThrows, 2}];
InsideCircle = Length[Select[Total[xyCoordinates^2, {2}],#<=1&]] ;
4*N[InsideCircle / Length[xyCoordinates],1+Log10[numberOfThrows]])</syntaxhighlight>
 
We do several runs with a larger number of throws each time, increasing by powers of 10.
<syntaxhighlight lang="wolfram language">Grid[Table[{n, MonkeyDartsPi[n]}, {n, 10^Range[7]} ], Alignment -> Left]</syntaxhighlight>
 
We see that as the number of throws increases, we get closer to the value of Pi:

See: [http://www.mathworks.com/discovery/monte-carlo-simulation.html Monte Carlo Simulation] in MATLAB for more examples
 
The first example given is not vectorized. MATLAB has a self-imposed memory limitation that prevents this simulation from having more than 3 decimal digits of accuracy. Because of this limitation it is best to vectorize the code as much as possible so extra memory isn't consumed by unneeded variables. Therefore, I have provided a second solution that is maximally vectorized.
 
Minimally Vectorized:
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">function piEstimate = monteCarloPi(numDarts)
 
%The square has a sides of length 2, which means the circle has radius
%1.
%Generate a table of random x-y value pairs in the range [0,1] sampled
%from the uniform distribution for each axis.
darts = rand(numDarts,2);
%Any darts that are in the circle will have position vector whose
%length is less than or equal to 1 squared.
dartsInside = ( sum(darts.^2,2) <= 1 );
piEstimate = 4*sum(dartsInside)/numDarts;
 
end
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Completely Vectorized:
<syntaxhighlight lang="matlab">function piEstimate = monteCarloPi(numDarts)
piEstimate = 4*sum( sum(rand(numDarts,2).^2,2) <= 1 )/numDarts;
 
end</syntaxhighlight>

Some general Monte Carlo simulators. <code>N</code> is the number of runs, <code>F</code> is the simulation function.
===Using while loop===
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
sim1(N, F) = C =>
C = 0,
I = 0,
while (I <= N)
C := C + apply(F),
I := I + 1
end.</syntaxhighlight>
 
===List comprehension===
This is simpler, but slightly slower than using <code>while</code> loop.
<syntaxhighlight lang="picat">sim2(N, F) = sum([apply(F) : _I in 1..N]).</syntaxhighlight>
 
===Recursion===
<syntaxhighlight lang="picat">sim_rec(N,F) = S =>
sim_rec(N,N,F,0,S).
sim_rec(0,_N,_F,S,S).
sim_rec(C,N,F,S0,S) :-
S1 = S0 + apply(F),
sim_rec(C-1,N,F,S1,S).</syntaxhighlight>
 
===Test===
Of the three different MC simulators, <code>sim_rec/2</code> (using recursion) is slightly faster than the other two (<code>sim1/2</code> and <code>sim2/2</code>) which have about the same speed.

Here's a walk through.
* <code>mcp "n" = </code>... defines a function named <code>mcp</code> in terms of a dummy variable <code>"n"</code>, which will be the number of iterations used in the simulation
* <code>rand</code> ignores its argument and returns a uniformly distributed number between 0 and 1
* <code>minus/.5</code> is composed with <code>rand</code> to compute the difference between the random number and 0.5
* <code>sqr</code> squares the difference
* <code>~~</code> says to apply the function twice and return the pair of results
* <code>plus</code> composed with that adds the pair of results
* <code>sqrt</code> takes the square root of the sum
* <code>fleq/.5</code> is floating point comparison with a fixed right side of <code>.5</code>, returning true if its argument is greater or equal
* Everything from <code>fleq</code> to <code>rand</code> forms the predicate for the <code>?</code> conditional operator.
* If the condition is true, the identity function is applied, <code>~&</code>
* If the condition is false, the <code>plus/1.</code> function is applied, which adds one to its argument.
* <code>rep"n"</code> applied to a function has the effect of composing that function with itself <code>"n"</code> times, with <code>"n"</code> in this case being the parameter to the <code>mcp</code> function.
* The function being repeated <code>"n"</code> times is applied to an argument of 0.
* A division of the result by the number <code>"n"</code> converted to a floating point value is performed by <code>div\float"n"</code>.
* The result of the division is quadrupled by <code>times/4.</code>.
