What is Simulation?
Basic explanation of what simulation is and how it can be used.
|
Probabilistic Simulation
In many systems, the controlling parameters, processes and events may be uncertain and/or poorly understood. Probabilistic simulation is the process of explicitly representing this uncertainty by specifying inputs as probability distributions.
|
When To Use Simulation
Simulation is a decision support tool. It allows you to evaluate, compare and optimize alternative designs, plans and policies. As such, it provides a tool for explaining and defending decisions to various stakeholders.
|
Types of Simulation Tools
Because simulation is such a powerful tool to assist in understanding complex systems and to support decision-making, a wide variety of approaches and tools exist.
