Monte Carlo Simulation and Resampling Methods for Social Science Jacqueline S. Thousand and professionals working with childrenTaking the topics of a quantitative methodology course and illustrating them through Monte Carlo simulation, this book illustrates abstract principles, such as bias, efficiency, and measures of uncertainty in an intuitive, visual way. Instead of thinking in the abstract about what would happen to a particular estimator "in repeated samples," the book uses simulation to actually create those repeated samples and summarize the results. The book includes
