Handout on Crystal Ball This handout supplements the lecture notes on Monte Carlo simulation techniques. In this handout‚ I will discuss how to use Crystal Ball to fit a distribution to historical data and how to produce tornado and sensitivity charts that allow the analyst to evaluate the impact of the model’s driver(s) on the model’s variable(s) of interest (such as firm value or NPV in the examples presented in the lectures). Fitting Distributions to Historical Data Unless we know from
