Annual Spending Spline & Monte Carlo Simulation

Methodology

1. Data cleaning
2. Spline interpolation for smooth spending curves
3. Monte Carlo simulation (10,000+ iterations)
4. Probabilistic risk assessment & confidence intervals
# Plot the original monthly data and spline fitting curve monthly_spline_plot <- ggplot() + geom_line(data=spline_curve, aes(x=month, y=amount), color="red" , size=1) + geom_point(data=monthly_spending_data, aes(x=month, y=amount), color="blue" , size=2) + labs(title="Collected Data Monthly Spending Cubic Spline Interpolation" , x="Month" , y="Monthly Spending Amount ($)" ) + theme_minimal() + theme(plot.title=element_text(hjust=0.5)) # Monte Carlo simulation for spending trajectories # Function to generate one spending trajectory generate_trajectory <- function(num_months, noise_level) { trajectory <- numeric(num_months)
