title: Blitzograms - interactive histograms
abstract: As computers become ever faster, more and more procedures that were once viewed as iterative will continue to become instantaneous. The blitzogram is the application of this trend to histograms, which the author hopes will lead to a better tacit understanding of probability distributions among both students and managers. And this is not just an academic exercise. Commercial Monte Carlo simulation packages like @RISK and Crystal Ball, and my INSIGHT.xla are widely available
