Probability distributions: general theory (60E05) Monte Carlo methods (65C05)

Abstract: Quantum Monte Carlo data are often afflicted with distributions that resemble lognormal probability distributions and consequently their statistical analysis can not be based on simple Gaussian assumptions. To this extent a method is introduced to estimate these distributions and thus give better estimates to errors associated with them. This method is applied to a simple quantum model utilizing the single-thread Monte Carlo algorithm to estimate ground state energies.
