Defining Your Model

The following topics introduce conventional optimization (with no uncertainty), simulation, simulation optimization, stochastic optimization, data science/forecasting and decision tables using the RASON Modeling Language with a series of examples.

• Defining an Optimization Model takes you step-by-step through the process of creating an optimization model from scratch.
• Defining a Simulation Model takes you step-by-step through the process of creating a Business Planning simulation model along with instructions on how to create a simulation parameter and perform a simulation optimization.
• Defining a Stochastic Optimization Model takes you step-by-step through the process of creating a stochastic optimization model that can be solved using stochastic programming or robust optimization.
• Defining a Data Science Model takes you step-by-step through the process of defining and performing a data science or forecasting task in RASON.
• Defining Decision Tables takes you step-by-step through the process of creating and calculating a decision table in RASON.
