Simulation Studies in R

R is a unique statistical application that combines programming language and statistical packages almost perfectly. This course will show how to use R for a Monte Carlo simulation. The class covered all steps in a Monte Carlo simulation, including:

  • Specifying design conditions.
  • Generating data from a desired model.
  • Analyzing data.
  • Selecting target statistics from the results.
  • Summarizing the statistics across design conditions for publication.

Furthermore, the class included debugging techniques, running R in high-performance computers, and communication with other statistical packages.
