ROV MODELER, OPTIMIZER, VALUATOR

Welcome to the ROV QUANTITATIVE DATA MINER (QDM) Software, brought to you by Real Options Valuation, Inc. This software application is used for analytical data crunching and modeling. It runs in the Windows environment and can be used to link to databases to download and run large datasets at extreme high speeds. This software comes in three separate modules. The first module is the main ROV Quantitative Data Miner (QDM) with about 150 methods for running Data Modeling, Analytics, Forecasting, Simulation, Data Computation, and Charts. The second module is the ROV Optimizer for running static, dynamic, and stochastic optimization at high speeds on a large number of decision variables. The third module is the ROV Valuator, with over 600 closed-form, partial differential, lattice and analytical models. The following provides some highlights of our software application, and please contact us for a live or web demonstration of the power and functionality of our tool.

The software’s minimum requirements are:

  • Dual core processor or later
  • Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 (MAC OS requires a Windows emulator such as Parallels or VM)
  • 100MB free space and 1GB RAM minimum (2–4GB recommended)
  • Administrative rights to install software

A permanent or trial license is required to run the software for the first time. To obtain a trial or full corporate license, contact Real Options Valuation, Inc., at admin@realoptionsvaluation.com

WHAT IS RISK ANALYSIS?

How do you make critical business decisions? Do you consider the risks of your projects and decisions, or are you more focused on returns? Do you have a hard time trying to understand what risk is, let alone quantifying risk? Well, our Risk Simulator software will help you identify, quantify, and value risk in your projects and decisions.

TRIAL AND ACADEMIC VERSIONS

The QDM – Quantitative Data Miner can be downloaded immediately from our website with a default 10-day trial license for our existing clients. Please send us an e-mail requesting a secure link to download the trial software. Our philosophy is you get to try before you buy. Once you use it, we are convinced you will fall in love with the simplicity and the power of the tool, and it will become an indispensible part of your modeling toolbox. We also have academic licenses for full time professors teaching risk analysis (and their students) or other associated courses using QDM or our other software products. Contact admin@realoptionsvaluation.com for details.

TRAINING AND CONSULTING

Advanced analytical tools such as the QDM – Quantitative Data Miner software are built to be easy to use but may get the analyst in trouble if used inappropriately. Sufficient theoretical understanding coupled with pragmatic application experience is vital; therefore, training is critical.

 

Our Risk Analysis course is a two-day seminar focused on hands-on computer-based software training, with topics covering the basics of risk and uncertainty, using Monte Carlo simulation (pitfalls and due diligence), and all of the detailed methods in forecasting and optimization.

 

We also have a Real Options for Analysts course for the analysts who want to immediately begin applying strategic real options in their work, but lack the hands-on experience with real options analytics and modeling. This two-day course covers how to set up real options models, apply real options, and solve real options problems using simulation, closed-form mathematics, as well as binomial and multinomial lattices using the Real Options SLS software.

 

The Certified Quantitative Risk Management (CQRM) seminar is a four-day hands-on class that covers the materials on our Risk Analysis and Real Options for Analysts courses and is geared towards the CQRM certification provided by the International Institute of Professional Education and Research (AACSB member and eligible for 30 PDU credits with the Project Management Institute, Inc (PMI)®).

 

Our Risk Analysis for Senior Managers is a one-day course specially designed for senior executives, where we will review case studies in risk management from 3M, Airbus, Boeing, GE, and many others. It provides an executive overview of risk analysis, strategic real options, portfolio optimization, forecasting, and risk concepts without the technical details.

 

Also available are other customized decision, valuation, and risk analysis courses with an emphasis on on-site trainings customized to your firm’s exact needs based on your business cases and models. Consulting services are available, including the framing of risk analysis problems, simulation, forecasting, real options, risk analytics, model building, decision analysis, integrated OEM, and software customization.
