![]() If you want to see how a change to something that isn't effecting the underlying risk profile has on the model, you want to push through the exact same underlying risk profile to model the differences.
If you have a separate series of numbers - its impossible to tell what is due to your change and what is due normal variation. |

![]() Here we go, I'm finally getting around to writing an article on this, and I'm using a title suggested by an AO denizen...
So let's do a group edit/write here [I'm lazy, sue me... or, hey, Eddie, I'm giving you and Howard a break on editing this!] This is not even a finished first draft, I'm still pulling together links. I'll spoiler it so it doesn't ruin the look... I'm open to nit-picking edits as well as suggestions of stuff I've missed. You'll see some of my lists aren't finished. Whatever. Just getting it out there. Spoiler: |

![]() Here's the item someone sent me:
http://www.noesis.net.au/main/Resour...rces/prng.html I assume that's Excel 2007's PRNG, not the Excel 2010 version [which I was told was a Mersenne Twister with longer period] |
