10A: Arena Scenario Analysis

Introduction

This chapter covers scenario analysis using the Arena simulation software. Two systems are compared using the Arena Output Analyzer to undertake a visual inspection of confidence interval graphs and the use of a paired t-test. For comparison across multiple systems, the use of the Process Analyzer is demonstrated for multiple-scenario comparison and scenario ordering. Finally, the Arena OptQuest application is shown for optimisation.

Comparing Two Systems with Arena

We will compare two systems with Arena using the visual inspection (graphical) method to compare confidence intervals and the use of a hypothesis test. To undertake these methods, we will use the Output Analyzer application that is bundled ...
