Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational technique used to model the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the intervention of random variables.

Standard Distribution

Often refers to a probability distribution that is used to represent the dispersion of a set of data around its mean, typically assumed to be a normal distribution.

Monte Carlo Simulation

A computational algorithm that uses repeated random sampling to obtain numerical results, often used to model the probability of different outcomes in a process that cannot easily be predicted due to the intervention of random variables.
