Creating a simulation scenario: filling the form

This article describes how to fill the form to be able to run a simulation scenario.

The general principles are the following:

  • the simulator requires a name and description for the scenario, for further reference. The name appears in the list, so try to provide a self-explanatory name
  • It starts from a "Reference Time Period": this gives the starting point and reference response curves to use
  • ...and a target period (in the future or in the past): this is used so that the Optimizer can compute what the Response Curves should "look" like in the future by applying a rate (of inflation / actualization) for each tactic 
  • It requires then 
    • to know over which indications it should run
    • whether it should optimize, NBrx, CBRx, or "all"
    • which parameter to maximize / minimize
  • Remark: the "Response model version" is a technical indication that refers to the technical version of the Response Model that was used to generate the response curves of the Reference Time Period - it can be ignored
