Working with chart output from Simulation

A number of the charts generated from a simulation have interactive features that allow you to customize the display. Interactive features are available by activating (double-clicking) the chart object in the Output Viewer. All simulation charts are graphboard visualizations. See the topic Editing and Exploring Graphboard Visualizations for more information.

Probability density function charts for continuous targets. This chart has two sliding vertical reference lines that divide the chart into separate regions. The table below the chart displays the probability that the target is in each of the regions. If multiple density functions are displayed on the same chart, the table has a separate row for the probabilities associated with each density function. Each of the reference lines has a slider (inverted triangle) that allows you to easily move the line. A number of additional features are available by clicking the Chart Options button on the chart. In particular, you can explicitly set the positions of the sliders, add fixed reference lines and change the chart view from a continuous curve to a histogram or vice versa. See the topic Chart Options (simulation) for more information.

Cumulative distribution function charts for continuous targets. This chart has the same two moveable vertical reference lines and associated table described for the probability density function chart above. It also provides access to the Chart Options dialog, which allows you to explicitly set the positions of the sliders, add fixed reference lines and specify whether the cumulative distribution function is displayed as an increasing function (the default) or a decreasing function. See the topic Chart Options (simulation) for more information.

Bar charts for categorical targets with sensitivity analysis iterations. For categorical targets with sensitivity analysis iterations, results for the predicted target category are displayed as a clustered bar chart that includes the results for all iterations. The chart includes a dropdown list that allows you to cluster on category or on iteration. For Two-Step cluster models and K-Means cluster models, you can choose to cluster on cluster number or iteration.

Box plots for multiple targets with sensitivity analysis iterations. For predictive models with multiple continuous targets and sensitivity analysis iterations, choosing to display box plots for all targets on a single chart produces a clustered box plot. The chart includes a dropdown list that allows you to cluster on target or on iteration.
