Sensitivity output analysis of two parameters

Post by mattlin »

When doing a sensitivity analysis according to chapter 15 I can see how "cash flow" behaves. The beviour is caused by a mix of the varied input parameter values. I want to see how the input parameter values drive the output ("cash flow").
Is there a way to plot how two active input parameter drive the results at the end of a simulation (my simulation drives towards average values over time)? For example a graph with "cash flow" as y-axis, "sales force productivity" as x-axis and several plotted lines with varying "sales force adjustment time" values?

(I am using PLE Plus.)

Regards,

Try running the sensitivity analysis with just one of the constants (say, sales force productivity) then export the *.vdf using the menu option Model>Export Dataset.

Select "Export only final time" and then open the resulting *.tab file in Excel. You can then create a scatterplot for "sales force productivity" against any of the variables in your save list.

Thanks a lot.

The export function did work as well with several constants (i.e. "active parameters") I could plot my diagrams as desired.
