    "1. A method of simple random sampling used to obtain a distribution of values which may serve as an input to a PRA. The probability of obtaining any given sample is similar to the probability of a sample occurring within the distribution. Hence, for a given sample size, simple random sampling tends to produce values clustered around the mean of the distribution.\n\n2. A computer experimental method that uses random numbers in order to estimate distributions of simulator outputs. [NIST/SEMATECH 2005b]",
