[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBPM-1122) Suport multiple simulation runs and apply statistical evaluation of them

Suport multiple simulation runs and apply statistical evaluation of them ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBPM-1122 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPM-1122 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Simulation Reporter: Bernd Ruecker Priority: Optional Currently every scenario is only executed once during an experiment. If you want to draw valid conclusions you need more than one simulation run (as a rule of thumb 30 is a good number). If running the same scenario multiple times (with different seeds for the random number generator) the results of the single runs is no more interesting, the means of the figures are important. The tool should support configuring multiple runs in the configuration and provide an additional result with the means. These means allow to draw conclusions about probabilities for a special result (for example "cycle time < 2 hours") with a easy normal distribution (because of the central limit theorem). have a look in my master thesis for details (http://www.camunda.com/content/publikationen/bernd-ruecker-business-proce...), there I also implemented it manually for the prototype (source code on page 112). Very cool would be an automatic detection of the required number of runs if JBPM-1121 is implemented (http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1121).
