- A few more things to note about this analysis. You can check the Simulate Results box to perform a Monte-Carlo simulation over the specified number of simulations. Also, you can adjust the values specified for the injuries, deaths, and functional loss as well as time of day of the event, the discount rate, the time horizon, etc. All fields you see can be tweaked, but the user should only do this if they feel comfortable tweaking the values.
- After making any final adjustments, click the Execute button to run the analyses.
Equivalent Cost Analysis
Now that we have the as-built decision attributes, let's run the Equivalent Cost Analysis to assign the decision variables dollar values.
- Bring up the Run Analysis Wizard again and expand the Decision Support category and select Equivalent Cost Analysis. Click the Finish button.
- Click on the Equivalent Cost Analysis box in the analysis graph to bring up the form page.
- For Result Name, choose something like As-Built ECA and for Building Decision Attributes, choose the dataset you just created in the previous step.
- Click the Execute button.
Analyzing Results
Now that the analyses that we were interested in have been completed, it's time to analyze and try to make sense of the results. There are various ways of viewing and visualizing the results, which we will learn now.
