When / Where: Wednesday, December 10, 2025 from 5:00 – 6:00 PM in 113 McAllister
Speaker: Prajwal Bhandari
Title: How To Be More Certain About Random Estimates
Abstract: Monte Carlo is one of the most simple yet most powerful techniques that statisticians have, but estimates tend to suffer from high variance on the order of σ²/n. To address the high variance, two techniques, antithetic variables and control variates, were developed to reduce variance without changing n. In this talk I will show the mathematical justification for the two methods above and give a demonstration with simulated data, with graphs and computational efficiency benchmarks as well.

MERCH!
We’re working on putting out this year’s Math Club merch, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could take the time to fill out this preliminary merch form to help us gauge interest. If you have your any input, or would like to submit your own designs for merch, contact the vice president (pmb5770@psu.edu) with any details that may not fit neatly into the form.
