Overview
The SmartStat software is a Monte Carlo simulation tool that, operating in conjunction
with Microsoft Excel®, provides decision-makers with
quantitative assessments of variables and risk factors from the
AIŲ WIN® software. The SmartStat software allows users
to assign statistical characteristics to independent variables
and, using simulation, track the statistical behavior of dependent
parameters over several iterations.
Powerful Variation Tracking
With a finished
Excel® spreadsheet, users can assign statistical characteristics
to independent cells by defining a distribution type (i.e.,
normal, uniform, exponential, triangular or discrete distribution)
to the cell. Each distribution type requires certain inputs
from the user, which establishes the basis for defining the
possible patterns each cell can take. Once distribution types
are assigned, users next identify target cells whose variations,
resulting from changes in independent cell values, should
be tracked.
