Appendix A Projects

Use existing tools, or write your own code, or do a mix of both, to carry out one or more of the following projects. You may also propose a project idea that is not on this list.
  • Given a data set in an input file, draw the histogram for the distribuition function for the empirical random variable defined by the data.
  • Given a data set in an input file, draw the histogram for the empirical distribuition defined by the data.
  • Given a data set in an input file, calculate the mean and standard deviation for the empirical distribuition defined by the data.
  • Given a data set in an input file, generate a percentile table the empirical distribuition defined by the data.
  • Plot a sequence of normalized binomial histograms together with the normal distribution to illustrate convergence.
  • Plot a sequence of normalized binomial cdf’s together with the normal cdf to illustrate convergence. Do an animated version if possible.
  • Generate 100 samples of some size, then plot the confidence intervals from the samples.
