5B: Deriving Theoretical and Empirical Distributions Using Simio
Introduction
The Simio simulation software does not provide distribution fitting capabilities, and it is suggested to use third-party packages such as StatFit (www.geerms.com), @RISK (www.palisade.com), ExpertFit (www.averill-law.com) and Easyfit (www.mathwave.com). This chapter demonstrates the use of the StatFit package. This chapter also covers how to generate non-stationary arrivals in Simio.
Deriving Theoretical Distributions Using the StatFit Package
- Enter your sample data in a numeric format in an Excel spreadsheet and copy it to the clipboard. For arrival data, you will need the interarrival times. This means that you may need to subtract the consecutive ‘time of arrival’ ...
