Tying and Bundling; Advertising - Microeconomic Analysis
Microeconomic Analysis - Spring 2006. Resource allocation and price determination. By the end of the semester, students should know the basic theory, models, and results of the topics covered. They should be able to use this knowledge to answer questions and analyze real-world situations. They should also be able to identify which theory or model is appropriate to analyze a particular question and explain why their answers are correct in intuitive, as well as mathematical, terms.

Poker Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the basic poker experiment of dealing 5 cards from a standard deck. The random variable of interest is the type of hand.
Roulette Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the standard casino roulette game. The random variables of interest are the winning under various bets.
Bivariate Normal Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the bivariate normal distribution. The means are set at 0, but the standard deviations and the correlation can be varied. Simulated points from the distribution are shown as dots in a scatterplot.
Gamma Estimate Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates a random sample from a gamma distribution, and computes standard point estimates of the shape and scale parameters. The bias and mean square error are also computed.
Interactive Histogram
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet allows the user to construct a histogram by clicking on a number line to generate the sample data. The class width can be varied and various summary statistics can be displayed.
Interactive Scatterplot
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet allows the user to construct a scatterplot by clicking on a graph to generate the bivariate data. The means, standard deviations, correlation, and the regression line are shown.
Normal Estimate Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates a random sample from a normal distribution, and computes standard point estimates of the distribution mean and standard deviation. The bias and mean square error are also computed.
Order Statistic Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the order statistics of a random sample from a given distribution. The sample size, order, and sampling distribution can be specified.
Pareto Estimate Experiment
This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates a random sample from a Pareto distribution, and computes standard point estimates of the shape parameter. The bias and mean square error are also computed.
