add Monte-Carlo simulation support and parameter estimation

[7yl4r]

Constants such as those in the agent 'personality' should support uncertainty values.

Example:

constant_low_estimate  = 1
constant_high_estimate = 10

A Monte-Carlo simulation can then compute many agents with a normal distribution of constant ranging between 1 and 10 to provide a nice range of expected behaviors.

A simple class for estimated constants should probably be formed and used for this purpose. This blog post may be useful.

This Monte Carlo test sound so interesting, I see this test everywhere, in
fact, we might need it in our prediction work
