[...] morning I went to see Christian Robert talk at QUT about the use of simulation as a tool in statistics. Overall it was quite an interesting talk although it was aimed at a less statistical audience than [...]

Thanks. Darren also pointed out this grammar mistake. I will update the slides whenever I can get a decent Internet connection (30K/s is not decent!)

Thanks, Rick, and best of luck for JSM. I am uncertain about the level of sophistication of the audience, which may range from high school students (unlikely to attend, if I judge from the lack of answer from my son!) to faculty from other fields…

Thanks for posting these slides. I am giving a 4-hour CE course at the 2012 JSM on Simulation of Data. It is interesting to see which slides we have in common (MC estimate of pi, convergence/CI of estimate), but also which topics we chose that are completely different. Between your 100 slides and my 200, we only have about a dozen that are similar, which says something about how vast the topic of simulation is, as you point out in your opening slides.

I think your slides are not too basic for a public lecture. In fact, I might have more simple examples than you do, although I am speaking to statistically savvy folks. Like you, I am looking forward to receiving feedback. Best of luck!

Hi, I found it a very nice presentation. Would it be possible to share it directly as Powerpoint or Keynote – File, or is there another possibility to save the file?

Thanks,
Thomas

That should be “A ubiquitous tool” not an ubiquitous.
