I am running experimenter. I have 3 scenarios and ran 30 replications each.
Currently, the process timing for Scenario A, B, C for the Replication X is the same.
What can I do so that all 3 possibilities:
1. Scenario A, Replication X
2. Scenario B, Replication X
3. Scenario C, Replication X
are all different?
The streams for replication X are the same - this is by design and is a recognised variance reduction technique. It allows any differences in the scenarios to be driven primarily by the difference in the scenario and not some arbitrary random variation.
The random differences that you should be looking for - the alternate universe where events play out differently - are handled between the replications X and Y - not the scenarios.
I have a list of labels stored in a list, whereby it is randomly selected by SQL query and assigned to flowitems.
Why does this happen?
Across the replications X, occasionally, different scenarios have different labels.
For example,
1. Scenario A, Replication X, Flowitem 1 is labelled as A1
2. Scenario B, Replication X, Flowitem 1 is labelled as B2
3. Scenario C, Replication X, Flowitem 1 is labelled as A1
Most of the time, different scenarios have same labels, across the replications X.
For example,
1. Scenario A, Replication X, Flowitem 1 is labelled as A1
2. Scenario B, Replication X, Flowitem 1 is labelled as A1
3. Scenario C, Replication X, Flowitem 1 is labelled as A1
Thanks!
Are you testing this in the experimenter or by setting the scenario and stream manually? Do you have Repeat Streams selected in the Statistics menu?
Yes, I am testing this in the experimenter. I did not set the stream manually. I do not have repeat streams selected in the Statistics menu.
