The 84 pages that link to Monte Carlo method, each with the reason it gives.

• Molecular dynamicsCompared with: Monte Carlo samples configurations without generating physical time trajectories.

• Agent-based modelCompared with: Random sampling may power an agent-based simulation, but Monte Carlo methods alone do not specify interacting agents.

• Capital budgetingCompared with: It models a range of possible project values rather than relying on one forecast or a few scenarios.

• Mean-field theoryCompared with: Sampling can capture fluctuations that a deterministic mean-field solution omits.

• Error propagationCompared with: Sampling can propagate uncertainty when derivative-based approximations are inadequate.

• Interval arithmeticCompared with: Sampling estimates typical behavior, while intervals aim to enclose every possible value.

• Scenario planningCompared with: It quantifies modeled uncertainty, while scenarios emphasize coherent narratives and strategic meaning.

• Discrete-event simulationCompared with: It samples outcomes without necessarily modeling a chronological sequence of events.

• Cavity methodCompared with: Sampling offers an alternative to solving cavity equations, especially when their assumptions fail.

• Dynamical system simulationCompared with: It estimates outcomes through sampling rather than explicitly evolving every state.

• Ioana DumitriuCompared with: Simulation can explore random matrices, while Dumitriu’s models also yield analytic structure.

• Mathematical methods in physicsCompared with: Sampling offers an alternative when deterministic calculations scale poorly.

• Mean-field and cluster methodsCompared with: Sampling can retain fluctuations that deterministic mean-field equations suppress.
