Tools for Two-Dimensional Monte-Carlo Simulations

The package

mc2d provides a complete framework to build and study Two-Dimensional Monte-Carlo simulations, aka Second-Order Monte-Carlo simulations. It also includes various distributions frequently used in the risk assessment domain (pert, triangular, Bernoulli, empirical discrete and continuous, beta subjective, Minimum Quantile Information Distribution, …).

Getting it

The stable version of mc2d can be installed from CRAN using:

install.packages("mc2d")
library("mc2d")

The development version of mc2d can be installed from GitHub (devtools needed):

if (!requireNamespace("devtools", quietly = TRUE))
   install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rpouillot/mc2d")
library("mc2d")
