Sawilowsky [56] distinguishes between a simulation, a Monte Carlo method, and a Monte Carlo simulation: a simulation is a fictitious representation of reality, a Monte Carlo method is a technique that can be used to solve a mathematical or statistical problem, and a Monte Carlo simulation uses repeated sampling to obtain the statistical ...

The logarithmic probability measure self-information or surprisal, [4] whose average is information entropy/uncertainty and whose average difference is KL-divergence, has applications to odds-analysis all by itself. Its two primary strengths are that surprisals: (i) reduce minuscule probabilities to numbers of manageable size, and (ii) add ...

A similar analysis can therefore be applied to determine the confidence to be ascribed to the actual ratio of votes cast. (If people are allowed to abstain then the analysis must take account of that, and the coin-flip analogy doesn't quite hold.) Determining the sex ratio in a large group of an animal species.
