aprender-monte-carlo

CLI tool and utility library for Monte Carlo simulations.

This crate provides:

  • CLI Interface: Run simulations from the command line
  • CSV Data Loading: Load historical data from CSV files
  • S&P 500 Data: Embedded historical S&P 500 data (1928-present)
  • Business Revenue Modeling: Product revenue forecasting

Core Monte Carlo functionality

The core simulation engine, risk metrics, and models are provided by the main aprender crate's monte_carlo module. This crate re-exports those for convenience and adds CLI-specific functionality.

Quick Start (Library)

use aprender_monte_carlo::prelude::*;

// Load S&P 500 data
let sp500 = Sp500Data::load();

// Run bootstrap simulation
let model = EmpiricalBootstrap::new(100.0, sp500.monthly_returns());
let engine = MonteCarloEngine::reproducible(42).with_n_simulations(10_000);
let result = engine.simulate(&model, &TimeHorizon::years(10));

// Generate risk report
let report = RiskReport::from_paths(&result.paths, 0.02)?;
println!("{}", report.summary());

Quick Start (CLI)

# Run S&P 500 simulation
aprender-monte-carlo sp500 --years 30 --simulations 10000

# Load custom CSV data
aprender-monte-carlo csv --file returns.csv --initial 100000

# Business revenue forecast
aprender-monte-carlo revenue --file products.csv --quarters 4
