Description

Provides an interface for computing and propagating uncertainty by using Monte Carlo simulations.

Basically simulates sampling from the distribution represented by the given Uncerts, applying the function of interest, and aggregating the mean and standard deviation of the results. x +/- dx is treated as a random variable whose probability density is the normal distribution with mean x and standard deviation dx.

This module attempts to duplicate the API offered by Numeric.Uncertain and is meant to be imported qualified alongside Numeric.Uncertain

import           Numeric.Uncertain
import qualified Numeric.Uncertain.MonteCarlo as MC

Actions are parameterized over all PrimMonad instances, so can be run under both ST and IO, making it suitable for exploratory purposes. All functions require a Gen from System.Random.MWC for random value generation purposes.

Synopsis

Sampling from an `Uncert`

sampleUncert :: PrimMonad m => Uncert Double -> Gen (PrimState m) -> m Double Source #

Sample a random Double from the distribution specified by an Uncert Double. x +/- dx is treated as a random variable whose probability density is the normal distribution with mean x and standard deviation dx.
