Main technical features and functionalities
StochSD is a software which can be used to simulate continuous flow between compartments and discrete transitions of entities. It has tools for optimization, parameter estimation, sensitivity analysis, statistical analysis and presentation of results from multiple simulations. The software is designed to create small and medium sized continuous system simulation models.
The software is based on the open-source parts of Insight Maker.
It runs on Windows, Linux, Mac. A web application is also available. StochSD is easy to use. The models are built in click-and-draw manner, it is possible to define system behavior using a wide set of mathematical functions and random distributions.
Examples on how to use them to analyse Complex Systems
reviewed software.
StochSD is mainly used for educational purposes. That is why conventional examples of SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) model, Lanchester's model of warfare, and other are provided in the homepage. The software has been tested in several courses; therefore, several labs are shared together with the software.
