Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) applies repeated random sampling (randomness) to obtain numerical results for deterministic problem solving. It is widely used in optimization, numerical integration, and risk-based decision making. Probability and cumulative density functions are statistical measures that apply probability distributions for random variables, and can be used in conjunction with MCS to solve deterministic problem.
