Is simulation considered a type of quantitative analysis?

[Trixie Mattel]

Hello,

I've been asked to talk about a time where I have used quantitative analysis.

I once used simulation of the solar system to find out more about things like close approaches, and Gladmans criteria

I was wondering if simulation is considered a quantitative method of analysis and if the example would be therefore appropriate to use

Thank you in advance

My two cents: I would consider it quantitative analysis.

You would need precise definitions of these terms.

I would say it is part of general data modeling/ data analysis, the applied part.

Quantitative analysis needs to be defined. I am familiar with a chemistry definition, but I don't know what a general definition would be. In chemistry it has nothing to do with simulation.

Only reasonable answer I can think of, is analysis of simulation data, as sample data for situation being simulated.

There might not be any authoritative definition of "quantitative analysis" in the field of close approaches in the solar system. There certainly are definitions for chemistry and economics that are completely different from each other.

My advice is to go with the simulation presentation and let others complain if they want to.
