YASAI 3.0 released
Jonathan
Version 3.0 -- June 6, 2019
A major release with several significant new features, some minor enhancements, and some bug fixes. The lion's share of the work was performed by Sohum Sanghvi, a Rutgers independent study student, over the Spring 2019 academic semester. The new features are:
-
There is now a "dump internal data" option in the simulation dialog box. Checking this option causes full sample data for all outputs to be dumped to a new worksheet ply at the end of each simulation.
-
YASAI has functions to automatically the scenario with the highest mean value of a given variable in a simulation output report, or the lowest mean value. This functionality was contributed by a user, Teddy Boyce.
-
Hypothesis testing: YASAI can now perform t-tests to evaluate the statistical significance of the difference between the sample means displayed in the output.
The bug fixes and minor enhancements are as follows:
-
Histogram charts have been re-enabled when using Mac Excel 2016 (but not Mac Excel 2011, where they are not properly supported).
-
Histogram and cumulative charts can be mixed in any order without corrupting the axis labels.
-
Internal time values are now represented differently. This change is intended to prevent crashes on Macs configured for some countries outside the USA.
-
The code that adds and removes the YASAI functions from the menu bars and ribbons has been partially reworked. When viewing a chart, applicable YASAI functions (creating more charts or hypothesis testing, but not simulation or scenario highlighting) are immediately available without having to switch back to viewing a worksheet.
