Editing Monte Carlo method (section)

===Law===
A Monte Carlo approach was used for evaluating the potential value of a proposed program to help female petitioners in Wisconsin be successful in their applications for [[Harassment Restraining Order|harassment]] and [[Domestic Abuse Restraining Order|domestic abuse restraining orders]]. It was proposed to help women succeed in their petitions by providing them with greater advocacy thereby potentially reducing the risk of [[rape]] and [[physical assault]]. However, there were many variables in play that could not be estimated perfectly, including the effectiveness of restraining orders, the success rate of petitioners both with and without advocacy, and many others. The study ran trials that varied these variables to come up with an overall estimate of the success level of the proposed program as a whole.<ref name="montecarloanalysis">{{cite web|url=http://legalaidresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/Research-Increasing-Access-to-REstraining-Order-for-Low-Income-Victims-of-DV-A-Cost-Benefit-Analysis-of-the-Proposed-Domestic-Abuse-Grant-Program.pdf |title=Increasing Access to Restraining Orders for Low Income Victims of Domestic Violence: A Cost-Benefit Analysis of the Proposed Domestic Abuse Grant Program |publisher=[[State Bar of Wisconsin]] |date=December 2006 |access-date=December 12, 2016 |author-last1=Elwart |author-first1=Liz |author-last2=Emerson |author-first2=Nina |author-last3=Enders |author-first3=Christina |author-last4=Fumia |author-first4=Dani |author-last5=Murphy |author-first5=Kevin |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181106220526/https://legalaidresearch.org/wp-content/uploads/Research-Increasing-Access-to-REstraining-Order-for-Low-Income-Victims-of-DV-A-Cost-Benefit-Analysis-of-the-Proposed-Domestic-Abuse-Grant-Program.pdf |archive-date=November 6, 2018}}</ref>
