Spatial Monte Carlo Simulation

Spatial Monte Carlo simulation applies random sampling methods to spatial problems, generating many stochastic realisations of a spatial process — such as a random field, point pattern, or network — to estimate distributional properties, propagate uncertainty, or test spatial hypotheses. It is a cornerstone technique in geostatistics, spatial epidemiology, ecology, and environmental modelling.
