Financial Simulation Modeling in Excel (eBook)

"I've worked with simulation in business for over 20 years, and
Allman really nails it with this book. I admit that I own his
previous book on structured finance cash flows, but I was surprised
by what I found in here. He addresses the fundamental questions of
how decision makers react to simulations and his read was very much
in accordance with what I've experienced myself. When it came to
the nuts and bolts of describing the different types of simulation
analysis the book becomes incredibly detailed. There is working
code and models for a fantastic array of the most common simulation
problems. If you're so inclined, the book very carefully steps
through the tricky math needed to really understand the theory
behind stochastic modeling in finance. If you're preparing models
that include any kind of randomization or stochastic modeling
component, this book is a must-read, a tremendous value and
time-saver." -- David Brode of The Brode Group
