Uses purely random Monte Carlo sampling to sample variables
Alias: none
Argument(s): none
The random
keyword invokes Monte Carlo sampling as the means of drawing samples of uncertain variables according to their probability distributions.
Default Behavior
In most contexts, Monte Carlo sampling is not the default sampling mode (exception: multilevel_sampling). To change this behavior, the random
keyword must be specified in conjuction with the sample_type
keyword.
Usage Tips
Monte Carlo sampling is more computationally expensive than Latin Hypercube Sampling as it requires a larger number of samples to accurately estimate statistics.
method sampling sample_type random samples = 200
