LABATCH.2
is a collection of programs for statistically analyzing sample path
data
on a strictly stationary stochastic process. For each sample path in
its
input, it computes a sample mean and an asymptotically valid confidence
interval for the population mean. It also displays a sequence of
estimates
of the asymptotic variance of the sample mean that allows an assessment
of the quality of the final estimate of this quantity and,
consequently,
an assessment of the validity of the confidence interval.
fcmc contains
a collection
of programs that can facilitate Mont Carlo sampling. In
particular,
for the pseudorandom number generator
known as the Mersenne twister, MT19937, a
C-language
program, rng_afm.c, provides a means for
loading
seeds at the beginning of a run
and saving the final numbers in the
sub-sequence
at the end of the run.
This allows for non-overlapping
sub-sequences
on successive runs.
seed_file
contains seeds to initialize rng_afm.c.
ct.hm.c estimates the number of two-way
contingency tables with given row sums and column sums.
ct.chisq.c estimates the number of contingency
tables with chi-squared statistics no larger than a given value.
