This option changes the number of simulations. The number of simulations
affects the accuracy of estimates of confidence intervals for ages and
deposition times. The standard error of the sample standard deviations
obtained (and listed in the output file) is
0.5s × square-root(2) / square-root(n),
where s is the sample standard deviation, and n is the number
of simulations: this works out as 0.071s for 100 simulations.
[Allowed range 10-1000]
