Highlights

@RISK: Time Series Fitting Increased Range Limits

The number of data points that can be used in Time Series Fitting has been significantly increased; longer time series data - up to a million data points - can now be used effectively, though the fitting process may still take significantly longer with larger data sets.

Additionally, the historical graph in Time Series graphs will only display 2000 data points, no matter how large a data series is used.

Please note: @RISK will no longer try to prevent Time Series Fitting with any data series, but larger data sets may cause "out of memory" errors and other unexpected behavior.

Highlights

@RISK: Dynamic Array Functions

Six new @RISK formulas allow you to create Excel dynamic arrays with @RISK simulation data, results are returned in a dynamic array of whatever size is necessary to hold the values:

  • RiskDataDA: returns the simulated data value(s) of simulation.
  • RiskSensitivityDA: returns the sensitivity analysis information of simulated output.
  • RiskSensitivityStatChangeDA: returns the “change in output statistic” sensitivity analysis information of the simulated output.
  • RiskFitParametersDA: returns the values for the parameters of the best fitting distribution from the fit performed by the RiskFitDistribution.
  • RiskFitStatisticsDA: returns the statistics from the fit performed by the RiskFitDistribution.
  • RiskCorrectCorrmatDA: returns a corrected correlation matrix.
  • RiskSimulationInfoDA: returns all simulation information options in one dynamic array.

This functionality only works on Office 365 with Excel Dynamic arrays.

See these online examples to see how @RISKDataDA and @RISKSensitivityDA can be used to create dynamic Excel Charts:

Dynamic Arrays - RiskDataDA with an LDA Base Model

Dynamic Arrays - RiskSensitivityDA with a New Product Development Base Model

@RISK: Error Handling with Debugging Messaging

There is a new Error handling functionality that will identify misconfigured or incorrect @RISK elements, including distribution functions, outputs, and @RISK statistic functions.

This release includes the following Error Handling:

Distribution Functions error warnings and explanations are included in the Define Distribution, Model List, and the Results Summary Windows and can be seen by hovering over the icon.

Figure 1 - Distribution Function Error Warning

All @RISK functions with error warnings can be filtered in the Model List and the Results Summary Windows using the new Issue View button ( ).

Details of the error from a cell with a Distribution Function can be viewed in the Excel status bar at the bottom of the Excel window.

Output and Statistical Function errors resulting from their precedent distribution functions with errors are included in the Results Summary Windows and can be seen by hovering over the icon.

@RISK: Added Letter Value Graphs

The Letter Value graph is a new Summary Graph that takes a Box Plot Graph to the next level! It graphs the spread with a variable number of letter value boxes. You will be able to visualize better estimates further out into the tails and reduced number of “outliers” displayed for large data sets.

Figure 2 - Summary Letter Value Graph

See this online example to see how this new graph is used in a Operational Risk model:

Letter Value Graph - Letter Value Graph with an LDA Base Model

@RISK: Select from Multiple Sheets When Creating Scatter Plots

The dialog to create Scatter Plot Graphs has been updated to allow selecting inputs and outputs from multiple worksheets.

Figure 3 - Scatter Plot - Select Axis Window

@RISK: Swap Overlayed Distributions

The Define Distribution window now allows for swapping overlay distributions with the original distribution, replacing the original @RISK function with the overlay's @RISK function. This enables quick comparison of input definitions and quick selection of the distribution that is most appropriate to the model.

Figure 4 - Define Distribution - Swap Overlay

@RISK: Export Simulation Data from Graph Windows

The Browse Results, Scatter Plot, and Summary Graphs Windows now have the option to Export or Copy the Simulation Data for the displayed inputs or outputs.

Highlights

All Products: Spanish Translation

The user interface for all the version 8.0 add-ins in the DecisionTools Suite have been translated into Spanish.

While the user interface and example files have all be localized into Spanish, unfortunately the Spanish product documentation was not completed as of the release date. Only the Evolver, PrecisionTree, and NeuralTools documentation is available in this release. If you are using @RISK’s online help system, the product will automatically start delivering Spanish documentation content as soon as it becomes available. If you are using the local help system of @RISK or the other products, you will need to update your software to get the translated documentation.

@RISK: Disable All Correlations During Simulations

There is a new Simulation Setting on the Sampling Tab (Figure 5, below) to disable all the correlations defined in your model. A shortcut for this setting can also be found in the Correlation Menu (Figure 6, below).

Figure 5 - Sampling Settings

Figure 6 - Correlation Menu

@RISK: Identify and Graph Outliers in Box Plots

Box Plots on the Summary Window or Data Viewer Window can now display outliers. This can be customized for an individual graph from the Graph Options dialog, or for all graphs from within @RISK’s Graphing Preferences dialog.

@RISK: Calculate Joint Probabilities Using New Statistic Functions

Two new @RISK statistic formulas allow you to calculate joint probabilities for two or more simulated input or outputs.

  • RiskJointProb2Dim calculates the fraction of iterations where a two simulated outputs or inputs fall in a given quadrant. (This matches the results shown by the delimiters in an @RISK scatter graph.)

  • RiskJointProbMultiDim calculates the fraction of iterations where any number of outputs or inputs meet a given set of range conditions.

@RISK: Select Report Outputs and Inputs across Multiple Worksheets

This new feature allows you to select multiple Excel ranges from different worksheets in the same workbook (Figure 7, below). You can also delete specific ranges, or change the order of how they will be displayed in your report.

Figure 7 - Output Report Configuration

@RISK: Choose and Order Results in Summary Graphs

The Summary Trend and Box Plot graphs now have a Summary Graph Manager that allows you to add, remove, and order the inputs and outputs shown in the graph. You can find it in the Settings/Actions menu of the Summary Graph Window.

@RISK: Model List Status Column Helps Identify Locked Inputs

The Model List Window (Figure 8, below) and Results Summary Window (Figure 9, below) now include a status column to visually show when an input is locked. From the Model List, you can lock and unlock inputs from the Edit menu or right-click context menu.

Figure 8 - Model List with Locked Inputs

Figure 9 - Results Summary with Locked Inputs

@RISK: Configure Two-Color Tornados

The Change in Output Statistic Tornado now allows the customization the two colors of the bars, so you can better differentiate between high and low inputs. The colors can be controlled for an individual graph using the Graph Options dialog. To control the colors for all new graphs, go to the Graphing Preferences dialog.

RiskOptimizer Graph to Compare Original vs Optimized Distribution

The Browse Results Window now allows you to compare the original distribution to the optimized distribution found by RISKOptimizer.

@RISK: Increased Report Limits

Summary and Detailed Statistics report tables can now include up to 500 inputs or outputs.

@RISK: New Goal Seek User Interface

The @RISK Goal Seek feature has been updated with an improved user interface and experience.

@RISK: Better Display Scaling

This version of @RISK has improved handling of different display scales (also known as DPI scales) in its windows, graphs, and reports.

@RISK: Add Property Functions from the Insert Menu

The ability to add Property Functions to your @RISK functions using the Insert Menu has been restored to @RISK version 8.

@RISK: Reference Overlays on Non-Active Sheets in the Define Distribution Window.

The option to overlay a distribution from an Excel range in the Define Distribution Window now supports selecting Excel cells from a non-active sheet.

NeuralTools: New Classification Performance Measures Report

For binary classification problems, one of the values in the dependent variable can now be defined as the “Positive Category”. With this designation we can present the testing results in terms of True/False Positives or Negatives; as well as reporting Accuracy, Precision, Recall, and F1 Score for the neural net’s performance.

Release 8.0.1 - July, 2020

Highlights

All Products: Dynamic Array Support

Some versions of Office 365 now include support for a new type of array formulas known as “dynamic arrays”. This resulted in changes to the syntax of some other non-array formulas: users will notice the “@” sign in some formulas, where it did not appear before. While TopRank itself does not make use of dynamic arrays, it has its own custom cell functions, and their syntax was affected by the introduction of dynamic arrays. This version has been made compatible with the new syntax.

PrecisionTree: Link to BigPicture Removed

The BigPicture add-in has been discontinued. The “View in BigPicture” ribbon command has been removed in this version.

TopRank: Running TopRank and @RISK at the Same Time

Previous versions of TopRank would sometimes require special reconfiguration of @RISK so the two add-ins could both be loaded at the same time. This requirement has been removed in this version.

Enhancements

DTS-370 Implemented ability to right-click on tornado bar to hide it @RISK
