Abstract
In this talk we will summarize the main ideas and results on randomized quasi-Monte Carlo (RQMC) methods, discuss their practical aspects, and give several examples. RQMC methods provide unbiased estimators of a mathematical ex- pectation whose variance sometimes converge at a faster rate than with standardMonte Carlo, as a function of the number of simulation runs. We will also discuss an RQMC variant specially designed for the simulation of Markov chains.
