An alternative simulation budget allocation scheme for efficient simulation
We present an alternative simulation run allocation scheme for maximizing efficiency in simulation experiments for decision making under uncertainty. The issue of simulation efficiency is addressed from two perspectives: i) We want to minimize the total computation cost, with a constraint that the overall simulation quality must be higher than a desired level; ii) we would like to maximize the ...
متن کاملEfficient Simulation Budget Allocation for Selecting an Optimal Subset
We consider a variation of the subset selection problem in ranking and selection, where motivated by recently developed global optimization approaches applied to simulation optimization, our objective is to identify the top-m out of k designs based on simulated output. Using the optimal computing budget framework, we formulate the problem as that of maximizing the probability of correctly selec...
متن کاملA Review of Optimal Computing Budget Allocation Algorithms for Simulation Optimization Problem
Simulation and optimization are two arguably most used operations research (OR) tools. Optimization intends to choose the best element from some set of available alternatives. Stochastic simulation is a powerful modeling and software tool for analyzing modern complex systems. This capability complements the inherent limitation of traditional optimization, so the combining use of simulation an...

Consequently, quality of health services offered by hospitals has a straight impact on the safety of individuals. Methods: </st...
متن کاملOptimal computing budget allocation for Monte Carlo simulation with application to product design
Ordinal optimization has emerged as an efficient technique for simulation and optimization, converging exponentially in many cases. In this paper, we present a new computing budget allocation approach that further enhances the efficiency of ordinal optimization. Our approach intelligently determines the best allocation of simulation trials or samples necessary to maximize the probability of ide...
