Monte Carlo implementation in FRP

Post by GDK »

Hi Jim,

I believe the documentation says that FRP performs 10,000 realizations. I think I've read in this forum that a new realization is drawn for each FRP plan year. Does that therefore mean that FRP performs 10,000 realizations for each plan year, and a 30 year FRP plan would therefore be the product of 300,000 realizations?

Thanks again for the great tool!

The simulation runs 10,000 iterations or paths through the plan and it does draw a new realization for the return variable for each plan year of each path.

So you are correct that a 30 year plan would be the product of 300,000 realizations.
