Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to provide the students with the knowledge of simulation that is necessary in statistics and econometrics. It is difficult to solve some problems in these fields analytically. To solve these problems, the simulation method which includes a virtual experiment can be used. In this context, the definition and contents of simulation, techniques used in simulation and mathematical modelling is considered. It is also necessary to use a programming language to simulate an event with a mathematical model. Therefore, the logic behind the alghoritms and MATLAB program is also discussed in the course. Following these topics, Monte Carlo models of some events are investigated to gain practice for students.
Course Content
The course covers random number generators, inverse transform method, simulation in some discrete and continuous distributions, virtual experiment, Monte Carlo estimation, Monte Carlo estimates for moments, Monte Carlo integration, estimating probabilities with Monte Carlo, estimating the size and power of a test, finding critical values with Monte Carlo, simulation in regression models, simulation in time series, the bootstrap method.
