Monte Carlo dropout
Monte Carlo dropout is a technique for estimating a neural network's prediction uncertainty by keeping dropout active at inference and averaging multiple stochastic forward passes.
Monte Carlo estimation
Monte Carlo estimation estimates integrals, expectations, and probabilities by averaging a function over many random draws, with error shrinking as one over the square root of the sample count.
Monte Carlo integration
Monte Carlo integration, or Monte Carlo quadrature, estimates definite integrals by averaging a function evaluated at random points, with statistical error falling as 1/√N regardless of dimension.
