Rare event simulation using Monte Carlo methods

Rare event simulation using Monte Carlo methods / edited by Gerardo Rubino and Bruno Tuffin.

In a probabilistic model, a rare event is an event with a very small probability of occurrence. The forecasting of rare events is a formidable task but is important in many areas. For instance a catastrophic failure in a transport system or in a nuclear power plant, the failure of an information pro...
