Monte Carlo simulation

% For first time users, please run test_MC.m
% 
% To run Monte Carlo simulation, only the main function need to be called.
% But if you are not familiar with the data struction of the inputs for MC,
% you can run InitializeInput to create a input data structure.
% 
% Main Function:
%     MC.m: Main program for Monte Carlo Simulation
% Supporting Functions:
%     InitializeInput.m: initialize the input data structure. 
%     MC_dll.dll: the DLL function which excutes most of the operations
%     MC_dll.h: the library file for MC_dll.dll
%     ProcessOutput.m: process the output data structure
% Also In this Folder:
%     inputdatafile_1.m: the sample input file
%     readme.m: this file

% version 1.2
% Problem fixed:
% 1. Computation error when either nr or nd or na equals 1
% 2. Incorrect initiation of dr

% Note:
% 1. If Matlab is installed in ../Program Files/Matlab, the directory may
% block some matlab built-in functions. This may be due to the space
% between 'Program' and 'Files'. A solution to this is to reinstall Matlab
% in C:/Matlab
% 2. A test report, test.pdf, is included.
