Important Steps in Simulation and Model Building
1. define an achievable goal
Goals change with increasing insight.
2. put together a complete mix of skills on the team
We need:
- knowledge of the system under investigation
- system analyst skills (model formulation)
- model building skills (model programming)
- data collection skills
- statistical skills (input data representation)
- more statistical skills (output data analysis)
- even more statistical skills (design of experiment)
- management skills (to get everyone pulling in the same direction)
