--- title: "Exercise 2 R-studio" author: "Husnain Arshad" date: "8/14/2022" output: html_document --- ```{r setup, include=FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo = TRUE) ``` # À propos de pi ```{r} pi ``` ## Buffon’s needle Applying the method of Buffon’s needle:[Buffon's needle](https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aiguille_de_Buffon) ```{r} set.seed(42) N = 100000 x = runif(N) theta = pi/2*runif(N) 2/(mean(x+sin(theta)>1)) ``` ## Using Fraction arguement A method that is easier to understand and does not make use of the sin function is based on the fact that if $X\sim U(0,1)$ et $Y\sim U(0,1)$ then $P[X^2+Y^2\leq 1] = \pi/4$ [Mont carlo method](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_method). The following code uses this approach: ```{r} set.seed(42) N = 1000 df = data.frame(X = runif(N), Y = runif(N)) df$Accept = (df$X**2 + df$Y**2 <=1) library(ggplot2) ggplot(df, aes(x=X,y=Y,color=Accept)) + geom_point(alpha=.2) + coord_fixed() + theme_bw() ``` It is therefore straightforward to obtain a (not really good) approximation to π by counting how many times, on average, $X^2 + Y^2$ is smaller than 1 : ```{r} 4*mean(df$Accept) ```
