Risk & uncertainty

From its inception, Analytica was designed to analyze risk and uncertainty — unlike spreadsheet applications which require special add-ins. Analytica’s fully integrated features for sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis and Monte Carlo simulation make it remarkably simple to treat risk and uncertainty in your models. Here are some examples of how organizations are using these methods.

Latin hypercube vs. Monte Carlo sampling

In a post on LinkedIn, David Vose argues that the advantages of Latin Hypercube sampling (LHS) over Monte Carlo are so minimal that “LHS does not deserve a place in modern...

The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you explore, change inputs, and run existing models of any size (excluding features unique to the Enterprise or Optimizer editions).
