Using Simulation Models in Demonstrating Statistical Applications.

Peer reviewed

Schuermann, Allen C.; Hommertzheim, Donald L. – Simulation and Games, 1983

Describes five statistical simulation programs developed at Wichita State University--Coin Flip and Raindrop, which demonstrate the binomial, Poisson, and other related distributions; Optimal Search; QSIM; and RANDEV, a random deviate generation program. Advantages of microcomputers over mainframes and the educational uses of models are noted.…
