Multivariate Input Uncertainty in Output Analysis for Stochastic Simulation

When we use simulations to estimate the performance of stochastic systems, the simulation is often driven by input models estimated from finite real-world data. A complete statistical characterization of system performance estimates requires quantifying ...
Quantifying Input Uncertainty via Simulation Confidence Intervals

<P>We consider the problem of deriving confidence intervals for the mean response of a system that is represented by a stochastic simulation whose parametric input models have been estimated from “real-world” data. As opposed to standard simulation ...
Statistical Analysis of Simulation Output from Parallel Computing

This article addresses statistical output analysis of transient simulations in the parallel computing environment with fixed computing time. Using parallel computing, most commonly used unbiased estimators based on the output sequence compromise. To ...
