smovie-package {smovie} | R Documentation |
These movies are animations used to illustrate key statistical ideas.
They are produced using the rpanel
package.
When one of these functions is called R opens up a small parameter window containing clickable buttons that can be used to change parameters underlying the plot. For the effects of these buttons see the documentation of the individual functions.
See vignette("smovie-vignette", package = "smovie")
for an overview
of the package and the user-friendly menu panel.
There are movies on the following topics.
Central Limit Theorem: sampling distribution of a sample mean
Central Limit Theorem for sample quantiles: sampling distribution of the 100p% sample quantile
Extremal Types Theorem: sampling distribution of a sample maximum
