Simulation Runs

Introduction

Simulation Runs are the most basic and straightforward feature of the simulation. They're at the heart of the TandaPay Simulation, and allow you to actually run the protocol.

Inputs

Sample Size: This is the only input that effects regular simulation runs. you can choose how many times to run it. If you run it once, you'll see the result and a breakdown of the details. If you run it many times, you will see averages over those runs. A higher sample size will give you a more accurate picture of what the probabilities of each output variable are. (Recommended: 1000)

Outputs

Results Summary: Summarizes the results. How many wins/losses/ties you got, and the percentages of each.

Wins Breakdown: Tells you how many wins, what the reason for wins were, and the average (defectors/skipped/invalid/quit) across all runs that resulted in a win.

Draws Breakdown: Tells you how many draws, what the reason for draws were, and the average (defectors/skipped/invalid/quit) across all runs that resulted in a draw.

Losses Breakdown: Tells you how many losses, what the reason for losses were, and the average (defectors/skipped/invalid/quit) across all runs that resulted in a loss.

Overall Averages: Tells you the average (defectors/skipped/invalid/quit) across all runs.

Minimums: Tells you the minimum (defectors/skipped/invalid/quit) across all runs.

Maximums: Tells you the maximum (defectors/skipped/invalid/quit) across all runs.
