Thank you. I suggest that the more significant benefit would arise from simulating the interaction of several distributions rather than simulating a single distribution, which inherently gravitates towards the mean by definition.

Thank you for taking the time to explain this Dr. Moy

I see that you add c5 to the npv but it should be c4, as that is the project cost instead of the yearly cashflow.

This was really good..great job Dr. Ronald Moy. I enjoyed this.

Hi thanks for the video. I am just curious how do you determine the standard deviation for the assumptions?
@RonaldMoy Жыл бұрын
If you have some historical data, you can estimate the standard deviation and use that.
