Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 15 Correlation-Based Methods for Output Analysis
TL;DR: Methods for estimating the variance of the sample mean of a steady-state simulation output process using correlation-based methods, all involving some form of “batching” are described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Estimating and interpreting the waiting time for customers arriving to a non-stationary queueing system
Jeffrey S. Smith,Barry L. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: Using an illustration based on passenger check-in at an airport, it is demonstrated how standard summary measures go wrong and methods that correctly answer these questions are provided.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Issues on simulation and optimization I: controlled sequential bifurcation: a new factor-screening method for discrete-event simulation
TL;DR: Controlled Sequential Bifurcation (CSB) is proposed, a procedure that incorporates a two-stage hypothesis-testing approach into SB to control error and power.
Book ChapterDOI
Chapter 1 Stochastic Computer Simulation
TL;DR: The topic of this book is introduced, what is meant by stochastic computer simulation is explained and examples of application areas are provided to motivate the remaining chapters in the book through two in-depth examples.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Simulation analytics for virtual statistics via k nearest neighbors
Yujing Lin,Barry L. Nelson +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a k-nearest-neighbor method for estimating virtual statistics post-simulation from the retained sample paths, examining both its small-sample and asymptotic properties.
