Post a comment | Relations
The CentralLimitTheorem program simulates a random additive process to illustrate that the distribution of the sum is a Gaussian, independent of the probability distribution of the…
STP Random Walk 2D Program  [ Computer Program ]
  
Match Score:

Byline:
H. Gould, J. Tobochnik, W. Christian, and A. Cox
Post a comment | Relations
The RandomWalk2D program simulates a random walk in two dimensions. The default number of walkers is 1000, and the probability of going right, left up or down at any step is the…
