| Section | Comments |
L1 | Basic concepts | System under study, model, purpose, etc. |
L2 | Modelling in StochSD | Model building and preparations for Lab1 |
Lab 1 | Structure and Behaviour | You model the structure and the simulation shows the model behaviour. |
L3 | Important techniques | Sensitivity analysis, Optimization, Model fitting. The tools Sensi & Optim do this. |
Lab 2 | Model fitting, Optimization and Sensitivity analysis | Practicing L3. |
L4 | Randomness, Statistical distributions and Random numbers | Basic statistics and Random numbers. |
L5 | Stochastic modelling | Including different kinds of uncertainties into the model. |
Lab3 | Deterministic vs. Stochastic Model Building and Simulation | Practicing L4 and L5. Showing that deterministic modelling can be misleading and insufficient. |
L6 | Statistical output analysis and the tool StatRes | The outcomes from a stochastic model varies, why many replications and statistical analysis are required. StatRes does this. |
