Pedagogical Binomial Simulation, Coin flips

Description

Simulate a sequence of coin flips.

Usage

simFlips(n, prob=.5, seed=NULL,
         show_title=TRUE, show_flips=TRUE,
         grid="grey90", pause=FALSE,
         main=NULL, pdf_file=NULL, width=5, height=5, ...)

Arguments

n	Size of each sample, that is, the number of trials or flips.
prob	Probability of a success on any one trial.
seed	Default seed is the R default. Enter a positive integer value to obtain a reproducible result, the same result for the same seed.

show_title	Place a title on the graph that contains the parameter values_
show_flips	Plot the outcome of each flip.
grid	Color of the grid lines.
pause	Build the graph and the text output, pausing after each confidence interval.
main	Title of graph.

pdf_file	Name of the pdf file to which graphics are redirected.
width	Width of the pdf file in inches.
height	Height of the pdf file in inches.

...	Other parameter values.

Details

Generate and plot successive values of a Head or a Tail using standard R rbinom function.
