How to Interprete Your Simulation Results

 

In this chapter we will try to give some advices possibly necessary for a correct interpretation of your simulation results. This may be very important, especially in cases where semi-quantitative or even quantitative results are to be optained.

Since Monte Carlo simulation is a statistical procedure describing statistical processes (electron scattering, ionization, etc.) one has always to take into account the statistical deviations in the simulated results. By means of some examples we will try to demonstrate simple methods to estimate these statistical errors.
