MCSim

GNU MCSim is a suite of simulation software. It allows users to design statistical or simulation models, perform Monte Carlo simulations, and Bayesian inference through (tempered) Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations. The latest version allows parallel computing of Monte Carlo or MCMC simulations.

==Description== GNU MCSim is a simulation and statistical inference tool for algebraic or differential equation systems, optimized for performing Monte Carlo analysis. The software comprises a model generator and a simulation engine: The model generator facilitates structural model definition and maintenance, while keeping execution time short. The model is coded using a simple grammar, and the generator translates it into source code for C. Starting with version 5.3.0, models coded in Systems Biology Markup Language (SBML) can also be used. The simulation engine is a set of routines that are linked to the model to produce executable code. The result is that simulations of a structural model can be run under a variety of conditions.
