-Previously, we have shown how [*stochastic chemical kinetics*](@ref math_models_in_catalyst_sck_jumps) describe how chemical reaction network models can be [exactly simulated](@ref simulation_intro_jumps) (using e.g. [Gillespie's algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillespie_algorithm)). We also described how the [SDE](@ref math_models_in_catalyst_cle_sdes) and [ODE](@ref math_models_in_catalyst_rre_odes) approaches were approximations of these jump simulations, and only valid for large copy numbers. To gain a good understanding of the system's time development, we typically have to carry out a large number of jump simulations. An alternative approach, however, is to instead simulate the *full probability distribution of the system*. This corresponds to the distribution from which these jump simulations are drawn.
