Course Description

Simulations are a type if computational algorithm that use the simple idea random sampling to solve increasingly complex problems. Although simulations have been around since ancient times they have gained popularity with the rise in computational power. Simulations are used in many areas, including Artificial Intelligence, Physics, Computational Biology and Finance. To simulate data and generate them, NumPy will be used. Simulators with simple, real-world examples will be used to give students hands-on experience.

Skills You Will Gain

Prerequisites/Requirements

Statistical Thinking in Python (Part 2)

What You Will Learn

Learn to solve increasingly complex problems using simulations to generate and analyze data

We will get a taste of bootstrap resampling, jackknife resampling, and permutation testing

We will then learn how to run a simulation by first looking at a simulation workflow and then recreating it in the context of a game of dice

We'll look at a number of examples of modeling the data generating process and will conclude with modeling an eCommerce advertising simulation

We'll work through a business planning problem, learn about Monte Carlo Integration, Power Analysis with simulation and conclude with a financial portfolio simulation
