Editing Rounding (section)

===Monte Carlo arithmetic===
Monte Carlo arithmetic is a technique in [[Monte Carlo method]]s where the rounding is randomly up or down. Stochastic rounding can be used for Monte Carlo arithmetic, but in general, just rounding up or down with equal probability is more often used. Repeated runs will give a random distribution of results which can indicate the stability of the computation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://web.cs.ucla.edu/~stott/mca/CSD-970014.ps.gz |title=Monte Carlo Arithmetic: a framework for the statistical analysis of roundoff errors |last1=Parker |first1=D.
