Data Analysis and Reporting

Each block that collects data provides an output port (usually labeled OutData) that other blocks can use to access its data. The plot blocks (Histogram, Scatterplot, and so on) are the usual recipients of this data, and these blocks can provide some real-time data analysis while the simulation is running. However, usually you want to use SAS or JMP software to analyze the data you have saved to data sets during your simulation runs. If you collected data using the Simulation Studio experiment features in coordination with JMP routines for design of experiments, you probably want to pass the experimental results back to the JMP program for analysis. This process is described in Appendix C, Design of Experiments.
