'''Inverse transform sampling''' (also known as '''inversion sampling''', the '''inverse probability integral transform''', the '''inverse transformation method''', '''[[Nikolai Smirnov (mathematician)|Smirnov]] transform''', or the '''golden rule'''<ref name=aalto>Aalto University, N. Hyvönen, Computational methods in inverse problems.
