Method toolkit R

fermi

Make probabilistic estimates by breaking a question into smaller uncertain quantities.

What it helps with

An R package for Fermi estimation. Analysts define assumptions for component quantities and use Monte Carlo simulation to examine the distribution of possible outcomes.

What you need

Requires an R installation and the project’s documented dependencies.

Coverage and considerations

Results depend on your assumptions and the way the components combine. They are estimates with uncertainty, not observed totals or forecasts guaranteed by the package.

Sources and reuse

Check the project’s documentation and original data sources for definitions, attribution and reuse terms.
