Browser View of a Stochastic Element

The browser view of a Stochastic element is shown below:

   Note: Element inputs and outputs are only shown in the browser if you choose to Show Element Subitems (accessed via the browser context menu by right-clicking in the browser).

All Stochastic elements have four outputs.

Note that the Distribution output has a different icon than the other outputs. This is because the Distribution output is a complex output that represents all the statistical information necessary to define a probability distribution.  It can only be used in several specialized locations.

The number of inputs is a function of the distribution type. If the Stochastic is correlated, it has a Correlated To input, as well as a Factor input (the correlation factor).

   Note: If you have specified a quantile or a specified value for the Deterministic Value, this also appears as an input in the browser. In addition, if the Stochastic is explicitly triggered, a number of additional inputs related to triggering also appear.
