A Graphical Tool for Visualizing Bernoulli Stochastics

Xiaomin Zhai, Elart von Collani

Abstract


This paper continues the work of the article “Strategies for Teaching a Novel Approach to Handling Uncertainty Scientifically via Internet”. The described novel approach is named Bernoulli Stochastics and one big barrier for introducing it is the prevailing way of deterministic thinking in conjunction with the mathematical language used by Bernoulli Stochastics. To overcome this barrier, an illustrative graphical representation of stochastic concepts and procedures is of crucial importance. In this paper, a flexible and extensible graphical system is described, which was developed to support the understanding of Bernoulli Stochastics by the visualization of uncertainty.
