AutoStat

AutoStat provides a complete statistical analysis capability in conjunction with AutoMod (industrial simulation tool). Statistical analysis is an important part of using simulation to make decisions. When experimenting with a single model, AutoStat determines the "warm-up" period and computes the minimum, maximum, and confidence intervals for model statistics. When comparing alternative system designs, AutoStat manages the databases and statistical analysis for all the options. AutoStat\´s "design of experiments" feature provides a unique capability using statistical optimization theory. It reduces the number of experiments required to determine which values, from a set of options, have the most effect on system performance.
