Returning
the
Odds: Partial simulations vs. compact formulas
, by Catalin Barboianu - posted on 05/21/2007
The purpose of this article is to make a comparison from
both a mathematical and a practical point of view between the
returns of partial simulations and the returns of the compact
probability formulas with respect to the gambling odds. The
target practical aspect is a good approximation of the real
probability and is not accomplished by most part of the
so-called odds calculators found on the Internet - they do not
return odds (probabilities), but relative frequencies, in
conditions of questionable randomness and not enough long sequence
of simulations. |
