Advisors and websites often show clients the results of large numbers of Monte Carlo simulations. It is hoped that clients will be calmed by pursuing avenues predicted to have a 90% chance of success.

Not all Spice versions perform Monte Carlo simulations. Even those that do may only have a small number of available distributions, much less custom ones. LTSpice, for example, has built-in random ...
