The problem

Sampling variation is hard to understand from a single numerical summary.

Implementation

Generate repeated synthetic samples and compare their means. The visual result supports discussion of variability and sample size.

Architecture

Data flow
  1. Sample controls
  2. simulation
  3. sample means
  4. distribution display.

Technical challenge

A simulation illustrates a model; it does not prove that the model applies to a particular real dataset.

Outcome & limitations

An interactive teaching tool using synthetic data. Random runs can differ.

My project

This is part of my ROTICH TECHNOLOGIES initiative. The implementation described above is available to inspect through the working example; it is not a claim of client delivery or sole authorship.

Technology: Canvas. No public source repository is currently linked.
