AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the standard deviation of magnetic susceptibility using Monte Carlo simulations. The primary method suggested involves changing the seed used for Monte Carlo generation, tracking the resulting magnetic susceptibilities, and calculating the standard deviation from these results. Additionally, it is noted that Monte Carlo simulations are preferred when analytical methods are impractical, and while other methods may exist, the suggested approach is considered the most effective without resorting to complex numerical calculations.

Hi.

Which is the easiest way to calculate the standard deviation (error) of the magnetic susceptibility by a Monte Carlo simulation?

Thanks!

change the seed you use for the Monte Carlo generation and keep track of the resulting magnetic susceptibilities and calculate the standard deviation from there.

Dr. Transport,

could you tell me other methods to calculate the error of the susceptibility?

Thanks by the help!
 
The main reason to use Monte Carlo simulation is where an analytical approach is not practical. So any statistical questions are answered as @Dr Transport suggested.
 
Off the top of my head, no, since it is a MC code, that might be the best and only way to do it without explicitly calculating everything and doing the difference calculation numerically.
 
Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
I have a quick questions. I am going through a book on C programming on my own. Afterwards, I plan to go through something call data structures and algorithms on my own also in C. I also need to learn C++, Matlab and for personal interest Haskell. For the two topic of data structures and algorithms, I understand there are standard ones across all programming languages. After learning it through C, what would be the biggest issue when trying to implement the same data...
