Using Monte Carlo methods for stock price prediction
As we explored in Chapter 4, Exploring Monte Carlo Simulations, Monte Carlo methods simulate different evolutions of the process under examination, using different probabilities that an event may occur under certain conditions. These simulations explore the entire parameter space of the phenomenon and return a representative sample. For each sample obtained, measures of the quantities of interest are carried out to evaluate their performance. A correct simulation means that the average value of the result of the process converges to the expected value.
