Beisbart, Claus (10 December 2013). More than just Good Luck. How to Explain the Success of Monte Carlo Simulations (Unpublished). In: Science & philosophie regards croisés sur les simulations numériques. Grenoble. 10.12.2013.
Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful method in many natural and social sciences. But what sort of method is it? And where does its power come from? Are Monte Carlo simulations experiments, theories or something else? The aim of this talk is to answer these questions and to explain the power of Monte Carlo simulations. I provide a classification of Monte Carlo techniques and defend the claim that Monte Carlo simulation is a sort of inference.
