Simulation Builder

The Simulation Builder provides the full set of capabilities for designing and running simulations. It allows you to perform the following general tasks:

• Design and run a simulation for an IBM® SPSS® model defined in a PMML model file.
• Design and run a simulation for a predictive model defined by a set of custom equations that you specify.
• Design and run a simulation that generates data in the absence of a predictive model.
• Run a simulation based on an existing simulation plan, optionally modifying any plan settings.
