The Run menu offers a variety of special tools for analyzing data and displaying results in more detail. Select Run, then More Tools to use tools discussed in the following sections (in Microsoft Excel 2007 or later, select More Tools in the Tools group of the Crystal Ball ribbon):
Fitting Distributions to Assumptions with the Batch Fit Tool — Automatically fits selected probability distributions to multiple data series
Measuring Variable Effects with the Tornado Analysis Tool — Individually analyzes the impact of each model variable on a target outcome
Estimating Data Accuracy with the Bootstrap Tool — Addresses the reliability and accuracy of forecast statistics
Analyzing Decision Variable Changes with the Decision Table Tool — Evaluates the effects of alternate decisions in a simulation model
Using the Scenario Analysis Tool — Displays what inputs created particular outputs
Analyzing Uncertainty and Variability with the 2D Simulation Tool — Independently addresses uncertainty and variability using a two-dimensional simulation
Importing and Analyzing Data with the Data Analysis Tool — Imports one or more series of raw data and performs a variety of analyses on them
Working with Smart View Using the Crystal Ball Enterprise Performance Management Connector — Available to users of Crystal Ball EPM and related products, enables Crystal Ball simulations and time-series analyses to be used with Oracle Hyperion Planning and Smart View; for more information about the EPM Connector and other integration tools, see the Oracle Crystal Ball Enterprise Performance Management Integration Guide
Comparing Extreme and Normal Speed with the Compare Run Modes Tool — For users of Crystal Ball Decision Optimizer, determines how much faster a model runs in Extreme Speed
All of these tools are discussed in Crystal Ball Tools.
Additional tools, Predictor and OptQuest, are also listed on the Run menu (or the Tools group in Microsoft Excel 2007 or later) in certain editions of Crystal Ball. For a description of these features, see Trend Analysis with Predictor and Goal Optimization with OptQuest.
Note: | The Correlation Matrix tool was replaced with an updated Define Correlations feature (Defining Correlations Between Assumptions). |
