== Limitations ==
The SimDec method has several limitations:
* It is based on [[Monte Carlo method|Monte Carlo]] simulation and thus requires running a computational model a thousand of times or more.<ref name="informs" /> To models that take hours to evaluate once, it would be impossible to use SimDec (unless a supercomputer and/or or large of time are available).
* SimDec is based on a [[histogram]], thus, for binary or categorical output variables, the visualization would be very limited (e.g., only a few bins).
* The more input variables one selects for the decomposition, the less readable the histogram becomes. Only cases with two and three input variables are presented in.<ref name="kozlova_et_al_1" />
