About the Monte Carlo Results Aggregate Parameter

When a Monte Carlo component is created and configured, Isight creates an output aggregate parameter called Monte Carlo Results. After execution, every Monte Carlo component writes some basic results to this aggregate.

The following items are included in the Monte Carlo Results aggregate parameter:

  • Execution Summary. A brief summary of the Monte Carlo setup information (technique type, number of samples, random variable definitions) and execution results in HTML format.

  • Probability. Probability values for each response for which limits were defined. Results potentially include probability above a lower limit, probability below an upper limit, total probability between the upper and lower limits, and the value of the response at a specified percentile.

  • Statistics. Basic statistics for each random variable and response, including mean, standard deviation, minimum, and maximum.

  • System Probability of Success. Probability of success when all the response constraints are considered together. Limits placed on random variables do not influence this value.
