Primes¶
- Law of Large Numbers
- Monte Carlo and randomized algorithms. Estimating an integral, a rare-event probability, or a posterior expectation by averaging simulated draws works because the law applies to the average of the simulated integrand, and the standard error falls as σ/√n regardless of how many dimensions the domain has.
This sourceGrounds Monte Carlo integration in the law of large numbers, with the error of the simulated average falling as sigma over root n irrespective of the dimension of the domain.

Mechanisms¶
- Simulation Rollout Evaluation
- Its value is precisely in exposing what an expected-value formula hides — the shape of the distribution
This sourceUses Monte Carlo simulation to characterize a target distribution beyond a single expected value.
