In this example, distribution functions are used to model increasing uncertainty with time. The values for variables in the
worksheet become less and less certain the further out in time a variable is projected. This technique allows simulation
results to include the effects of increasing uncertainty with time. If you run a simulation the trend for each model variable
will "widen", indicating increased risk.
