[(Introduction to Probability Simulation and Gibbs Sampling with R )] [Author: Eric A. Suess] [Jul-2010]

by Eric A. Suess

Simulation has become a basic tool for the practice of applied probability and statistics. The Gibbs Sampler is an especially important, but not widely understood simulation method. With a basic introduction to Monte Carlo simulation that provides enough background in other topics, students can understand the rationale for and use of the Gibbs Sampler as a practical simulation tool.
