One can study the dynamics of stochastic chemical kinetics models by simulating the stochastic processes using Monte Carlo methods. For example, they can be [exactly sampled](@ref simulation_intro_jumps) using [Stochastic Simulation Algorithms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillespie_algorithm) (SSAs), which are also often referred to as Gillespie's method. To gain a good understanding of a system's dynamics, one typically has to carry out a large number of jump process simulations to minimize sampling error. To avoid such sampling error, an alternative approach is to solve ODEs for the *full probability distribution* that these processes have a given value at each time. Knowing this distribution, one can then calculate any statistic of interest that can be sampled via running many SSA simulations.

[*The chemical master equation*](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_equation) (CME) describes the time development of this probability distribution[^1], and is given by a (possibly infinite) coupled system of ODEs (with one ODE for each possible chemical state, i.e. number configuration, of the system). For a simple [birth-death model](@ref basic_CRN_library_bd) (`(p,d), 0 <--> X`) the CME looks like
