The '''Inverseinverse transform sampling method''' is a method of sampling a number at
random from any [[probability distribution]], given its [[cumulative distribution function]] (cdf).
 
The problem that the '''Inverseinverse transform sampling method''' solves is as follows:
 
*Let X be a [[random variable]] whose distribution can be described by the cdf d(''x'').
