11.  ij person i alternative j seed Random draws from DCM microsimulation results = random variables X III. Variability Analysis -> microsimulations are a sampling tool estimation of parameters for X (=statistic) with random sampling Results should be given as interval estimation Standard error of sampling distribution = sampling error # of runs

12. 20 runs (goal: 30 for TRB) time, route, destination choice, 200 iterations Comparison OVER runs -> var = random var Scores population level average executed plans: 184.36: avg 0.166:  0.09:  in percent of avg III. Variability Analysis agent level Aggregation reduces var (applied in different fields e.g. filtering (moving average))

13. III. Variability Analysis daily link volumes Previous studies confirmed (...?) Castiglione TAZ level up to 6% std.dev.

14. III. Variability Analysis Hourly link volumes high! Var = f( spatial resolutions temporal resolution choice dimensions ) Previous studies at lower res levels or less choice dimensions! -> difficult to compare high!

15. III. Variability Analysis Large intra-run var 1.Large var through replanning modules (20% replanner) (iteration 201: 100% select best) 2. Not in equilibrium 3. Utility plateau -> genetic drift ideas? -> future research
