Functions are at the heart of risk analysis involving Monte Carlo simulation. In version 7.5 we have added a total of 22 new functions – 16 distribution functions and 6 new statistical functions. @RISK’s new distribution functions will appeal to a variety of industries and applications: RiskDagum – This distribution is mostly associated with modeling …
It’s often difficult to determine which factors require the most attention in business decisions which can lead to focusing on the wrong things while ignoring what’s most important. Tornado graphs are an effective way to determine which aspects have the most impact on a business decision, so you can focus on what matters rather than …
