Abstract

Monte Carlo methods have become popular computational device for problems in biology. In this work we implement and analyze the computational complexity of the Latin hypercube sampling algorithm. We compare the results with Importance sampling algorithm which is the most widely used variance reduction Monte Carlo method. We show that the Latin hypercube sampling has some advantageous over the importance sampling technique
