Abstract

We present a new method for optimizing the analysis of data from multiple Monte Carlo computer simulations over wide ranges of parameter values. Explicit error estimates allow objective planning of the lengths of runs and the parameter values to be simulated. The method is applicable to simulations in lattice gauge theories, chemistry, and biology, as well as statistical mechanics.
