Now I'm confused. I thought Monte Carlo was estimating a distribution by running (or simulating) the function many times and generating a set of results. This doesn't strike me as a particularly useful way to allocate results evenly to buckets, especially if you already have the actual distribution. -Jerry _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/53a1e327.10383.32b...@jwolper.swanzoco.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
