Double-click the Six Sigma component icon
 .
The Six Sigma Component Editor appears.
-
From the General tab's Analysis Type list select Monte Carlo Sampling, and from the Technique list select Descriptive Sampling, Simple Random Sampling, or Sobol Sampling.
-
Set the following options in the Sampling Technique Options area,
| Option | Description |
|---|
| Number of Simulations | Determine the number of
simulations to be executed. The default number is 1000 for simple random
sampling and 100 for descriptive sampling. A higher number of simulations
specified generally results in an increase in the accuracy level of the
statistical predictions. |
|---|
| Use a fixed seed | Select this option to manually specify the seed in
the corresponding text box. If this option is not
selected, Isight
determines the seed randomly.Note:
A fixed seed can also be set and used for the entire
model. If a fixed seed is set for the model and also defined separately
in the Six Sigma component, Isight
uses the one defined in the Six Sigma component. If a fixed seed is
set for the model and this option is not selected, the sequence
of random numbers is based on the model’s random seed (and, thus, is
still reproducible). For information about setting a fixed seed, see
Setting the Execution Options in the Isight User’s Guide.
