Assume also that the likelihood of a variate being chosen is proportional to its value. In this sense, MLMC can be considered as a recursive control variate strategy. The terminology here is the same as that for random variable and random variate. The first sample is chosen with probability proportional to the size of the "x" variate. Let "U" be a random variate from the standard uniform distribution. It is also natural to use a control variate. This could variate largely depending on the Sim's personality. The mode of a variate "X" distributed as formula 13 is formula 14. The color may variate between green olive or brown externally, with distinct roughly triangular patches. Let "X" be a "t" distributed random variate with "k" degrees of freedom. This variate is called the standardized form of formula 42. "X" is the total number of variate of type "X" in the study. Assume a random variate has a distribution "f"( "x" ).
