Excellent article. I wonder what software was used for the computer simulation in the second part. Can one do that in R relatively easily ?


He mentions that it's a C#/WPF program that he wrote :) The article includes a link to download the code and play with it yourself: http://www.charlespetzold.com/blog/2015/07/RampageShootingSt...


If you use R it's easy, if you use python it's probably easier to that simulation there. It's more about knowing statistics, all of those conclusions in the article are not trivial to come to.
