| Abstract | Simulation techniques is an important area of application of mathematics to realistic problems and has gained lot of attention in recent years. We will give an introduction to simulation techniques and explain the genesis of MCMC technique through a problem in discrete time and space so as to avoid technical difficulties and we can focus on core issues. |
