Monte Carlo - Virtuoso IC 6.1.5

kenambo

Hi,

In monte carlo analysis, what is the need for the "monte carlo seeds" field.

Is there any result variation for the different number of seeds..

Thanks.

  • And here's a comparison between two different seeds for more iterations. Again, this is not a monte carlo simulation, but it should show you the idea that the number of iterations makes the mean and standard deviation more stable. Note that if I ran again with the same seed, I'd get the same answers. If I just ran the test again twice in a row, the two histograms (and means and standard deviations) would be slightly different.

    Hopefully that's a reasonable "Random Numbers 101" course?

    Regards,

    Andrew.
