Usually, in videos like these, there is always a mid to up tempo song that, even being at a really low volume, makes the listener more "apprehensive" when watching the video and creates a difficulty to absorb the presented knowledge.

Thanks, Jaimie, if you want to keep track of a second output variable, just copy the code within the Iteration loop and adjust it so it saves the iterations of this variable as well.

Hey! Just curious about something. How did you go about choosing the distribution type for each variable? For instance, why did you pick a Triangular Distribution for sales? Could you use a normal distribution instead?
@MintyAnalyst
@MintyAnalyst 3 года назад
Hi Andrew, for the video I just used different ones, so that I can illustrate a few. In reality it all depends on what information you have for the value you are modeling. If historical sales data follows a normal distribution, you can use this one as well. What I usually do is plot the historical data on a chart and try to see if it looks like the chart for some distribution. To be honest, picking the distributions is the hardest part for me, still learning on that front :) Good luck with your modeling, and if you want to read more, here's an article on probability distributions and how to model them in excel - magnimetrics.com/introduction-to-probability-distributions-in-financial-modeling/

Hi there, glad you liked the video. Sorry, but I am not very familiar with weibull, so no idea to be honest.

I have come across a research paper in which they have developed regression models using past data (uptil 2016). The pdfs of variables were already known from literature review. For 2017 onwards, they utilized the forecasted values as the mean of the distribution and took 10% of that mean as standard deviation for each year, and performed MCS to calculate annual uncertainty. Is there any relation or basis for taking 10% of mean as SD for future uncertainty analysis? I have analyzed the past data as well SD is nowhere near 10% of the mean value.

Hi there, I am afraid this is a bit above over my head. I am not that knowledgeable in statistics, and I can't figure out the exact scenario from your explanation.

I don't think there's any way to set a seed and make it rerunable, that's the nature of it being trully random. To be able to do so, you will have to write your own random algo that uses a seed andresults can be reproduced.

Hi. Great video but i have a couple of questions: 1. How do you define the min and max ranges for sales? I mean its possible that we go below the minimun range or above the maximun range, so what's the methodology to put the best range possible in the model? 2. How do you choose the propper distribution?
@MintyAnalyst
@MintyAnalyst 3 года назад
Hi there, thanks for the questions. Here's an attempt to answer :) 1. The min and max ranges are defined based on experience and historical data. In the current context I just picked the numbers, to illustrate the model concept. In reality, I would probably look at how sales performed over the last years/periods, combine this with my expectations for performance based on market knowledge and figure out the range like that. It's not a straightforward task and there's no easy answer, it requires market knowledge and knowledge of the company (or asking the sales team to help with that). 2. Choosing the distribution is also a matter of judgement. Based on the data you have for each item, you can usually see what kind of a distribution might be a good match. Some of the items can have different distributions in different circumstances. But this requires experience and knowledge of the company as well. But mostly, go with common sense... if you can have either A or B outcome, then it has to be Discrete distribution, if you have Min and Max, then it's probably uniform, if you have Min, Most likely and Max, then it's Triangular... you have to develop a feeling for it. You can also read more on distributions in this article on our blog: magnimetrics.com/introduction-to-probability-distributions-in-financial-modeling/ Good luck and happy modeling!

@@velaraj I would split it into two separate models, one containing the bond and the other containing the option. For the option you can just pull in the black scholes model for your assumptions and mechanics and then decide what distribution type you want to make each variable. For the bond I would recommend discrete for default rate and maybe triangular for interest rates. I think the value of the convertible note would then be the sum of the two components (although this could change depending on any unique additional covenants).

Hi there, unfortunately, I have no idea what you did in the What If Analysis, so no idea where things might have gone wrong. That's the whole point of running Monte Carlo.

Hi there, yes, the macro won't work if you are not referencing the correct cells. One way to do it is to restrict users from changing the document by protecting the sheet. What I'd probably do is ask the user to select the cells when the macro is run. There's a RefEdit field when you build VBA forms, you should google it, it's pretty easy to set up and will allow the user to select the range to run the macro on.

@MintyAnalyst
@MintyAnalyst 2 года назад
Hi Willi, the formula in M6 is =COUNT(M13:M1048576), so it counts all entries the macro makes all the way to the bottom. When you set up the counter in M5, the macro will iterate up until the iterations in M6 reach the same number as the counter in M5. That's why you have to clear up all the iteration below if you want to start the next model run with less iterations than before (lower counter number in M5). Hope this helps!

Hi Hamed, I have an article on Monte Carlo, which has a model that you can download: magnimetrics.com/monte-carlo-simulation-in-financial-modeling/ And here's another one on Probability Distributions and how to use them in modeling, that might be helpful with Monte Carlo simulations: magnimetrics.com/introduction-to-probability-distributions-in-financial-modeling/

the correlation between sale prices and sale volumes is not considered

Yep, absolutely right! I did not consider any correlations between any of the variables, as it was meant to be a simple and straightforward example. Once you start adding correlation, it gets much more complex.

Nice job, but why not use the what-if function in Excel, it would do 90% of the job?

What-If analysis is indeed a great analytical tool in Excel, but you can't really perform a Monte Carlo simulation with it and find the average result over thousands of iterations.

@@MintyAnalyst Generally not true, you can do the exact same thing you did. The exact maximum number of iterations it is limited to I actually don't know.

@@Schlumpf.Meister I may be wrong, but I don't think what-if can give you a 1000 different results listed and then you can analyze them separately. Please, share a link to some resources that prove me wrong, it would be great to run monte carlo without VBA...

Why on earth do you think it’s a good idea to play music while you’re explaining something?

Hi Peter, I honestly don't know why I did that :D
