MCSim Simulation
Software
What is MCSim?
MCSim is a simulation package, written in
C, which allows
you to:
- design your own statistical or simulation models
(eventually
dynamic, via ODEs),
- perform Monte Carlo stochastic simulations,
- Bayesian inference through Markov Chain Monte Carlo
simulations.
MCSim is GNU Software (see the license below).

for last minute updates and tips.
How do I get
MCSim?
Download
version 5.2.beta of MCSim
(MCSim-v5.2.beta.tar.gz, 564 KB, 29/01/08)
We
provide a gzipped tar archive which contains:
- A User's Manual (in Texinfo and HTML
formats)
- The ASCII source code of the Mod program (to preprocess
your
models)
- The ASCII source code of the MCSim routines (to link with
your
models)
- Examples of model and simulation files
You will need a C compiler and linker to compile the sources and obtain
executables.
Versions 5.0.0 and above also requires the GNU
Scientific Library (gsl) to be installed.
For Unix or Linux machines we recommend GNU
gcc.
For other machines, standard C compilers should work.
