Abstract

This paper offers a solution to the simulation model decomposition problem discussed briefly in Overstreet and Nance [1] and elaborated in detail in Overstreet [2]. The solution scheme involves the use of principal components analysis. We offer an example of the technique on a simple directed graph and then demonstrate the method on a small model given in Overstreet [2].
