Monte Carlo Simulation method

[Michelle Tan]

Dear All

i can't seem to find Monte Carlo Simulation method in SPSS version 17 that
i am using now. Not sure is it because i am using the base module with no
advanced stats module as add on.

i wish to know how can i ue monte carlo simulation method to test
confidence interval for completion rates?

thanks in advance

Michelle,

Not to be snarky, but that's because native spss does not have monte carlo
simulation command or procedure like frequencies or crosstabs. That said,
you can certainly use spss to do monte carlo simulations. I know people will
respond with suggestions. I'd suggest the you search the spss list archives
which are at <http://listserv.uga.edu/archives/spssx-l.html>. You might also
look at the data management book that Ray <I've forgotten his last name>
wrote and published and is (or used to be) supplied on the spss distribution
cd. All that said, I'd bet that people also have written python
implementations of monte carlo.

>>i wish to know how can i ue monte carlo simulation method to test

I expect the answer is yes but I don't know what you mean by 'completion
rates'

Many kinds of monte carlo simulation can be done using
INPUT PROGRAM
LOOP
and
compute with one of a few dozen random variable functions.
e.g.,
compute x = rv.normal(22,5).
compute ranvar= rv.uniform(0, 2e31).

here is a simulation of throwing conventional dice.
* throw 2 dice.
*show crosstab and scatterplots.
SET SEED=20100723.
NEW FILE.
INPUT PROGRAM  .
LOOP id=1 to 155.
COMPUTE die1=RND(RV.UNIFORM(.5,6.5)).
COMPUTE die2=RND(RV.UNIFORM(.5,6.5)).
END CASE.
END LOOP.
END FILE.
END INPUT PROGRAM.
FORMATS DIE1 DIE2 (F1).
VARIABLE LEVEL die1 die2 (nominal).
CROSSTAB TABLES= DIE1 BY DIE2 /CELLS=count.
CROSSTAB TABLES= DIE1 BY DIE2 /CELLS=ALL.
