Random Walk Experiment
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource consists of a Java applet and descriptive text. The applet illustrates a random walk on a discrete time interval from 0 to n. The time n and the probability of a step to the right can be varied. The random variables of interest are the final position, the maximum position, and the time of the last zero.

Red and Black Experiment
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the red and black experiment in which a player bets on a sequence of Bernoulli trials until a target fortune is reached or the player is ruined. The initial fortune, target fortune, and trial win probability can be varied, and the user can select either of two basic strategies: timid play or bold play.

Two-Type Poisson Experiment
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet illustrates the arrivals in a Poisson process where each arrival, independently, is one of two types. The time interval, the rate of the process, and the probability that an arrival is type 1 can be varied. The applet illustrates "splitting" a Poisson process.

Voter Experiment
Rating
0.0 stars

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the voter experiment, an interacting partile system that consists of a rectangular array of sites. At each discrete time unit, a site is chosen at random, a neighboring site is chosen, and the color of the first site is changed to that of the neighbor. The applet illustrates clustering of the colors and convergence to consensus.
