5A: Deriving Theoretical and Empirical Distributions Using Arena
Introduction
The Arena software incorporates an Input Analyzer software tool (on the Arena Tools menu), which provides facilities to derive theoretical and empirical distributions. The Input Analyzer is a separate application to Arena, so it may be necessary to run it from Windows (use Windows Search for Input Analyzer to find the application). This chapter also covers how to generate non-stationary arrivals in Arena.
Deriving Theoretical Distributions Using the Arena Input Analyzer Tool
The following steps are required to save data in the required format for the Input Analyzer and then undertake the analysis.
- Enter your sample data in a numeric format in an Excel spreadsheet ...
