Large deviations for performance analysis
Alan Weiss,Adam Shwartz +1 more
TL;DR: This isn't the real cover, but it's the one the authors wanted.
Book
Large Deviations For Performance Analysis: Queues, Communication and Computing
Alan Weiss,Adam Shwartz +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework for large deviations of random variables, using the Flatto-Hahn-Wright model and Erlang's model as examples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity Analysis for Simulations via Likelihood Ratios
Martin I. Reiman,Alan Weiss +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a simple method of estimating the sensitivity of quantities obtained from simulation with respect to a class of parameters is presented, where sensitivity is defined as the derivative of the expectation of an expectation with respect a parameter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fundamental bounds and approximations for ATM multiplexers with applications to video teleconferencing
TL;DR: An approximation to the steady-state buffer distribution is called Chenoff-dominant eigenvalue, which is effective for analyzing ATM multiplexers, even when the traffic has many, possibly heterogeneous, sources and their models are of high dimension.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new technique for analyzing large traffic systems
TL;DR: This paper presents a new technique for analyzing the frequency of a very large class of rare events in large traffic systems based on the theory of large deviations, and obtains estimates of the transient behavior of the system.
