Probalistic Simulation: One or more of the dependant variables are probalistic
  • Discrete distributions: limited number of events or variables, finite number of values
  • Continuous distributions: unlimited number of possible events
Time Dependant Vs Time Independant Simulation:
Time Independant refers to a situation where it is not important to know exactly when the event occured
eg. Important to know that 3 units were sold in 1 day but not important to know when.

Time dependant, precise details of when the event happened are important.
