Plotting the values for an input and output variables that were generated in the sample model sample will give perhaps the best understanding of the effect of the input on the output value.

Scatter plots can be produced in ModelRisk by selecting any two variables in the Simulation Results window and clicking:

ModelRisk offers a number of controls for scatter plots:

image764.gif      Changes whether actual values or cumulative percentiles are plotted for the variables. Usually correlation is better appreciated in a percentile       plot (the default)

image765.gif     Controls the number of points to be plotted

image767.gif    Switches the horizontal and vertical axes

image768.gif    Switches sliders on and off. Sliders split up the graph area to allow analysis of regions of the plot, as shown below
