Prescriptive Analytics: Optimization and Simulation - Introduction to Simulation

3 important questions on Prescriptive Analytics: Optimization and Simulation - Introduction to Simulation

List the characteristics of simulation

Suffer from fewer assumptions about the decision situation compared to other prescriptive analytic models.
Is a technique for conducting experimentsUsed when a problem is too complex to be treated using numerical optimization techniques.(
E.g. the assumptions do not hold, formulation too large, too many interactions among the variables,..)

List and describe the steps in the methodology of simulation

Steps in figure 6.12

List and describe the types of simulation

Probabilistic simulation e.g. Monte Carlo Simulation
Time-dependent simulation
Time-independent simulation

The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
