Example models
See also: Useful Excel functions, ModelRisk functions and windows
Apart from the models listed below, a number of example models explaining specific ModelRisk functions are provided. These are listed on the right and linked to from that function's topic (e.g. VoseEigenValues).
On your hard drive, the example model files are located in the Models subfolder of your ModelRisk folder (usually this is c:\Program Files\Vose Software\ModelRisk\Models).
Example models explaining risk analysis techniques
The table below lists the example models included. All models are unprotected to allow you to use the code for your own problems.
When making use of these example models, we would consider it a kindness if you were to reference Help file for ModelRisk in papers and reports.
