This is a Javascript simulation of a particle moving along a straight line with absorbing
states at either end.
|
When the particle hits either of the ends of the line - it blows up
in which case you see a big BOOM in the walk field. |
The Path Length Field contains the length of the line.
The Start At Field contains the starting position of the particle.
The Number of Trials is initially 10, but you can change this to whatever value you like.
If you change the number of trials, then the program will automatically execute that number
of walks and then stop. |
The field above the GO button contains the theoretical expected length of a walk with these
parameters. The actual Average number of steps taken over all the walks performed
so far is shown in the field above that.
Until you change the starting position or path length, the program retains the average length
of a walk thus far. Pressing STOP aborts the current walk but will pick up from there when you
next press GO. To really start over and clear all variables, press RESET.
