Abstract: DETECT is an inexpensive, easy to use, general‐purpose, Monte Carlo simulation program for IBM and compatible personal computers. It can be used to quickly analyze fault trees or functions of random variables. DETECT provides a wide variety of input distributions to choose from and a dependency (correlation) option. The result of the analysis is a probability distribution over the variable of interest. We look forward to further improvements (e.g., graphics, full‐screen editing, ability to inspect intermediate results) that will make DETECT even more useful and attractive.
