Why Analyzing Suboptimal Decisions is Important

A Purchasing Strategy Example Palisade’s PrecisionTree software allows you to analyze the probabilities of different outcomes, and their impacts, in sequential, multi-stage decisions. The decision trees in PrecisionTree show the probabilities of these outcomes...

Uses of the Uniform Continuous Distribution

The continuous uniform distribution represents a situation where all outcomes in a range between a minimum and maximum value are equally likely. From a theoretical perspective, this distribution is a key one in risk analysis; many Monte Carlo software algorithms use a...

The Paradox of Knowledge: Using Correlations

Modeling from empirical data takes observed information and attempts to replicate that information in a set of calculations. There are a number of relationships to account for when incorporating those data in a model. These relationships include dependencies and/or...
