An implementation of Multi-level Monte Carlo for R. This package builds on the original GPL-2 Matlab and C++ implementations by Mike Giles (see https://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/~gilesm/mlmc/) to provide a full MLMC driver and example level samplers. Multi-core parallel sampling of levels is provided built-in.

Install
You can install the latest stable release directly from CRAN.
install.packages("mlmc")Or you can install the latest release candidate binary from r-universe:
install.packages("mlmc", repos = c("https://louisaslett.r-universe.dev", options("repos")[[1]]))Install development version (not recommended)
Installing directly from GitHub is not supported by the install.packages command. You could use the devtools package to install the development version if desired.
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("louisaslett/mlmc")Under releases, the tree/commit from which CRAN releases were made are recorded, so historic source can be downloaded from there.
