%0 Journal Article %T Monte Carlo Methods in Statistics %A Christian P. Robert %J Statistics %D 2009 %I arXiv %X Monte Carlo methods are now an essential part of the statistician's toolbox, to the point of being more familiar to graduate students than the measure theoretic notions upon which they are based! We recall in this note some of the advances made in the design of Monte Carlo techniques towards their use in Statistics, referring to Robert and Casella (2004,2010) for an in-depth coverage. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.0389v1
