Accounting for Multivariate Input Uncertainty in Large-Scale Stochastic Simulations
Two important components of a large-scale stochastic simulation are the generation of random variates from multivariate input models and the analysis of simulation output data to estimate mean performance measures and confidence intervals. The common practice is to obtain the multivariate input models applying statistically valid fitting algorithms to historical data sets of finite length and c...
متن کاملREDUCING INPUT PARAMETER UNCERTAINTY FOR SIMULATIONS Szu
Parameters of statistical distributions that are input to simulations are typically not known with certainty. For existing systems, or variations on existing systems, they are often estimated from field data. Even if the mean of simulation output were estimable exactly as a function of input parameters, there may still be uncertainty about the output mean because inputs are not known precisely....
متن کاملInput Modeling Techniques for Discrete-event Simulations
Most discrete-event simulation models have stochastic elements that mimic the probabilistic nature of the system under consideration. A close match between the input model and the true underlying probabilistic mechanism associated with the system is required for successful input modeling. The general question considered here is how to model an element (e.g., arrival process, service times) in a...
متن کاملAccounting for Input Uncertainty in Discrete-event Simulation
ZOUAOUI, FAKER. Accounting For Input Uncertainty in Discrete-Event Simulation. (Under the direction of James R. Wilson.) The primary objectives of this research are formulation and evaluation of a Bayesian approach for selecting input models in discrete-event stochastic simulation. This approach takes into account the model, parameter, and stochastic uncertainties that are inherent in most simu...
متن کاملA 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 both input model and simulation estimation errors. The components of input models in many complex systems could be dependent. In this paper, we...
