shape_sim_random

Generate random (Bass, Trapezoidal or Triangular) shapes for the demand of
new products during their life cycle

Simulate demand and attributes for ready to launch new products
during their life cycle, or during their introduction and growth phases.
You provide the number of products, attributes, time periods and/or other parameters
and 'npdsim' can simulate for you the demand for each product during the considered
time periods, and the attributes of each product. The simulation for the demand
is based on the idea that each product has a shape and a level, where the level
is the cumulative demand over the considered time periods, and the shape is
the normalized demand across those time periods.
