Hardware and Software Requirements
• The general advice about computer hardware for simulation is the faster the better and plenty of memory is helpful too.
• Spreadsheets and databases are particularly useful for storing, retrieving and analysing sets of data.
• Statistical packages may be useful for working through more complex analyses.
• There are also some specialist packages for simulation analysis, for instance, EasyFit, ExpertFit and Stat::Fit for fitting distributions to empirical data
