Notes
The goal is to estimate the following probability
The idea of the subset simulation method [au2001] is to replace simulating a rare failure event in the original probability space by a sequence of simulations of more frequent conditional events
The original probability estimate rewrites
And each conditional subset failure region is chosen by setting the threshold so that leads to a conditional failure probability of order
The conditional samples are generated by the means of Markov Chains, using the Metropolis Hastings algorithm.
being the number of simulations per subset, and the conditional probability of each subset event, and the autocorrelation between Markov chain samples.
The first event not being conditional, expresses as the classic Monte Carlo c.o.v.

Notes
It launches the simulation and creates a
SimulationResult
, structure containing all the results obtained after simulation. It computes the probability of occurrence of the given event by computing the empirical mean of a sample of size at most outerSampling * blockSize, this sample being built by blocks of size blockSize. It allows one to use efficiently the distribution of the computation as well as it allows one to deal with a sample size by a combination of blockSize and outerSampling.

Notes
For Monte Carlo, LHS and Importance Sampling methods, this allows one to save space while allowing multithreading, when available we recommend to use the number of available CPUs; for the Directional Sampling, we recommend to set it to 1.
