The purpose of this study is to develop a Monte Carlo method to calculate various IBD matrices for arbitrarily complicated large pedigrees with optimal utilization of marker information.

The Monte Carlo method is a type of algorithm that reveals a distribution by randomly sampling its elements again and again. For example, say there are 40 red marbles, 20 green marbles, 25 orange ...

Quantum Monte Carlo Quantum Monte Carlo There are two flavors of QMC, (a) variational Monte Carlo (VMC) and (b) projector Monte Carlo (PMC). VMC starts by proposing a functional form for the ...
