Palisade Decision Tools Suite 8.12

 

DecisionTools Suite is software for decision management and risk analysis in business and operational projects, developed by Palisade. No matter what industry you work in, this software helps you make confident decisions. Using DecisionTools Suite, you can assess and determine the risk of the project and optimize your decisions. This program has tools for Excel and Microsoft Project and allows you to perform analysis within the spreadsheet.

DecisionTools Suite plays an important role in increasing the quality of decision making in projects and helps teams to think more clearly, act decisively, and make decisions more easily. The software has various tools for simulating the Monte Carlo method, forecasting and statistical analysis, decision trees, predictable neural networks, advanced optimization, and information retrieval and information mapping. You can also use this software for financial and cash flow analysis , multi-step decision modeling, resource optimization, and company risk management.

Highlights

@RISK: Dynamic Array Functions

Six new @RISK formulas allow you to create Excel dynamic arrays with @RISK simulation data, results are returned in a dynamic array of whatever size is necessary to hold the values:

  • RiskDataDA: returns the simulated data value(s) of simulation.
  • RiskSensitivityDA: returns the sensitivity analysis information of simulated output.
  • RiskSensitivityStatChangeDA: returns the “change in output statistic” sensitivity analysis information of the simulated output.
  • RiskFitParametersDA: returns the values for the parameters of the best fitting distribution from the fit performed by the RiskFitDistribution.
  • RiskFitStatisticsDA: returns the statistics from the fit performed by the RiskFitDistribution.
  • RiskCorrectCorrmatDA: returns a corrected correlation matrix.
  • RiskSimulationInfoDA: returns all simulation information options in one dynamic array.

This functionality only works on Office 365 with Excel Dynamic arrays.

See these online examples to see how @RISKDataDA and @RISKSensitivityDA can be used to create dynamic Excel Charts:

Dynamic Arrays – RiskDataDA with an LDA Base Model

Dynamic Arrays – RiskSensitivityDA with a New Product Development Base Model

@RISK: Error Handling with Debugging Messaging

There is a new Error handling functionality that will identify misconfigured or incorrect @RISK elements, including distribution functions, outputs, and @RISK statistic functions.

This release includes the following Error Handling:

Distribution Functions error warnings and explanations are included in the Define Distribution, Model List, and the Results Summary Windows and can be seen by hovering over the icon.

Figure 1 – Distribution Function Error Warning

All @RISK functions with error warnings can be filtered in the Model List and the Results Summary Windows using the new Issue View button (  ).

Details of the error from a cell with a Distribution Function can be viewed in the Excel status bar at the bottom of the Excel window.

Output and Statistical Function errors resulting from their precedent distribution functions with errors are included in the Results Summary Windows and can be seen by hovering over the icon.

@RISK: Added Letter Value Graphs

The Letter Value graph is a new Summary Graph that takes a Box Plot Graph to the next level! It graphs the spread with a variable number of letter value boxes. You will be able to visualize better estimates further out into the tails and reduced number of “outliers” displayed for large data sets.

Figure 2 – Summary Letter Value Graph

See this online example to see how this new graph is used in a Operational Risk model:

Letter Value Graph – Letter Value Graph with an LDA Base Model

@RISK: Select from Multiple Sheets When Creating Scatter Plots

The dialog to create Scatter Plot Graphs has been updated to allow selecting inputs and outputs from multiple worksheets.

Figure 3 – Scatter Plot – Select Axis Window

@RISK: Swap Overlayed Distributions

The Define Distribution window now allows for swapping overlay distributions with the original distribution, replacing the original @RISK function with the overlay’s @RISK function. This enables quick comparison of input definitions and quick selection of the distribution that is most appropriate to the model.

Figure 4 – Define Distribution – Swap Overlay

@RISK: Export Simulation Data from Graph Windows

The Browse Results, Scatter Plot, and Summary Graphs Windows now have the option to Export or Copy the Simulation Data for the displayed inputs or outputs.

@RISK: Simulation Data Report

The new Simulation Data Report now allows for the selection of inputs and/or outputs to generate a report with their Simulation Data in an Excel Worksheet.

@RISK: Input/Output Thumbnails in Data Window

Thumbnail graphs for inputs and outpus are now included in the Data Window, aiding in the interpretation of simulation results.

@RISK: Sampling Type and Generator Added to RiskSimulationInfo

Two new arguments have been added to the @RISK function RiskSimulationInfo; these will display the Sampling Type and Generator used during the simulation.

@RISK: New Advanced Sensitivity Analysis User Interface

The @RISK Advanced Sensitivity Analysis feature has been updated with an improved user interface and experience.

@RISK: New License Manager User Interface

The @RISK License Manager feature has been updated with an improved user interface and experience.

@RISK: New Software Update User Interface

The @RISK Software Update feature has been updated with an improved user interface and experience.

NeuralTools: Updated Warnings

Now when testing or predicting PN/GRN nets there are also warnings for the number of test and prediction cases whose values are not between the minimum and maximum of the corresponding training variables. These warnings can be found in the Preview dialogs, Reports and as a note in the Live Prediction cell for numeric independent variables.
