SOCR Project - Distributome Project Ideas
Distributome Games
Brief explanation
One of the aspects of the Distributome is to design and implement interactive webapps for motivation and enhancing the learning experiences of probability theory, modeling and applications. The first Distributome game provides an interactive web-game for matching real-live problems with specific probability distribution models. In this project, Distributome Games, we need to design innovative webapp interfaces that allows users to match randomly generated pairs of graphs, the first one representing the density/mass functions of different probability distribution models, and the second frequency histograms of randomly-generated samples from various distributions.
Expected results
C lever, dynamic, platform-agnostic, and user-friendly interfaces for displaying, navigating and controlling the game (touch-interface/mobile compatible). The UI needs to provide a truly dynamic (transition, animation) for changing the collection of distributions and the stream of new sample frequency histograms. The image below just shows an example of 4 randomly selected distributions and corresponding random samples of size 100 from each of these distributions.
Knowledge Prerequisite
HTML5, JavaScript (JQuery and CoffeeScript experience or learning interest is a plus).
