Input Elements

Input elements define the inputs to your model. There are five input elements in GoldSim: Data, Stochastic, Time Series, Lookup Table and History Generator.

Data elements allow you to specify a single scalar value (e.g., the discount rate) or an array of related values (e.g., the salaries of each individual in a group). Stochastic elements allow you to specify that a particular value is uncertain by defining it as a probability distribution. Time Series elements allow you to specify a time series of a value (e.g., monthly rainfall rates, quarterly cashflows). Lookup tables allow you to create response surfaces.  History Generators provide a mechanism for creating stochastic time series based on statistical inputs.
