Abstract
We propose a Monte Carlo algorithm which accommodates an unbiased stochasti c estimates of the fermion determinant and is exact. This is achieved by ad opting the Metropolis accept/reject steps for the update of both the dynami cal and noise configurations. We demonstrate how this algorithm works even for large noises. We also discuss the Pade - Z(2) estimates of the fermion determinant as a practical way of estimating the Trln of the fermion matrix .
