Hello Everyone, I would like to use patient daily arrivals to the ED. I have daily totals, but I want them to follow a pattern (eg. at midnight the arrival is much less than during noon). I am trying to include future forecasts (my forecasts are daily forecasts and not hourly) and this is why I need to somehow input daily numbers into rate table but also make it follow the pattern. Would really appreciate help with this! Thank You! Best regards, Sumanth

Hello Thank You for your help, i was able to implement it!! I have a slight snag though, in the rate tables it only allows me to enter arrival events per hour. I have daily sum of arrivals (say x). If i assume mean arrivals per hour are the same and use the typical sum(x)/24, the model underestimates the total arrivals per day. I understand that simio uses exponential distribution to randomly genrate a number. Do you have any suggestion for me to retrieve arrivals per hour from daily arrivals to input into simio? Thank You!
