A Monte Carlo Simulation of the Flow Network Reliability using Importance and Stratified Sampling
Abstract : We consider the evaluation of the flow network reliability parameter. Because the exact evaluation of this parameter has exponential time complexity- , simulation methods are used to derive an estimate. In this paper, we use the state space decomposition methodology of Doulliez and Jamoulle for constructing a new simulation method which combines the importance and the stratified Monte Carlo principles. We show that the related estimator belongs to the variance-reduction family. By numerical comparisons, we illustrate the interest of our method when compared to the previous simulation methods based on the same decomposition.
