Forecasting emergency department crowding: a discrete event simulation.
Nathan R. Hoot,Larry J. LeBlanc,Ian Jones,Scott Levin,Chuan Zhou,Cynthia S. Gadd,Dominik Aronsky +6 more
TL;DR: By modeling patient flow, rather than operational summary variables, the simulation forecasts several measures of near-future ED crowding, with various degrees of good performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniform random number generation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine practical ways of generating (deterministic approximations to) such uniform variates on a computer and compare them in terms of ease of implementation, efficiency, theoretical support, and statistical robustness.

How to build valid and credible simulation models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present techniques for building valid and credible simulation models, including the importance of a definitive problem formulation, discussions with subject-matter experts, interacting with the decision-maker on a regular basis, development of a written assumptions document, structured walk-through of the assumptions document and use of sensitivity analysis to determine important model factors.

Undirected visual attention to advertising, a segment level analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of physical ad properties on consumers' visual attention to advertising were studied and a latent class regression model accounting for heterogeneity across consumers through unobserved segments was used to analyze the eye movement data in detail.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Overlapping batch means: something for nothing?
TL;DR: This paper considers an overlapping batch means (OLBM) estimator that, based on the same assumptions and batch size as NOLBM, has essentially the same mean and only 2/3 the asymptotic variance of N OLBM.
