Computing the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator by a stochastic method
We describe a Monte Carlo method for the numerical computation of the principal eigenvalue of the Laplace operator in a bounded domain with Dirichlet conditions. It is based on th...

Folded standardized time series area variance estimators for simulation
We estimate the variance parameter of a stationary simulation-generated process using “folded” versions of standardized time series area estimators. We formulate improved vari...

Parallel multivariate slice sampling
Slice sampling provides an easily implemented method for constructing a Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm. However, slice sampling has two major drawbacks: (i) it requires...

Average task times in usability tests: what to report?
The distribution of task time data in usability studies is positively skewed. Practitioners who are aware of this positive skew tend to report the sample median. Monte Carlo simul...
