Frechet & MonteCarlo

Post by lorenzo.cioni »

Hi all
I would like to use a parameter modelled with a Frechet distribution in a MonteCarlo simulation of a Vensim Plus model. In SntheSym I can use the trick of implementing the Frechet distribution as betaScale*(-LOG(X , 10 ))^(-1/alphaShape) but how can I proceed in the Sensitivity Simulation Setup dialog box?Man thanks in advance.
All the best.
Lorenzo

Use the sensitivity control to generate a uniform random variable and transform that in another model variable, just as you would for a regular simulation.
