![Monte Carlo estimates of area](https://blogs.sas.com/content/iml/files/2022/07/MCArea1-400x336.png)
I've previously shown how to use Monte Carlo simulation to estimate probabilities and areas. I illustrated the Monte Carlo method by estimating π ≈ 3.14159... by generating points uniformly at random in a unit square and computing the proportion of those points that were inside the unit circle. The previous
