Conclusion

 

In this chapter, we revisit the random walk example that we introduced in Chapter 5. Our goal is to significantly improve the performance of Monte Carlo simulations by using a trained artificial neural network (ANN) to approximate the results of the Monte Carlo simulations.

The example that we are trying to solve is straightforward: given a number of steps of a random walk, estimate the distance from the origin.

For the purpose of this book, we confine ourselves to random ...
