The iterative bisection procedure: a useful tool for determining parameter values in data-generating processes in Monte Carlo simulations

Abstract Background Data-generating processes are key to the design of Monte Carlo simulations. It is important for investigators to be able to simulate data with specific characteristics. Methods We described an iterative bisection procedure that can be used to determine the numeric values of param...
