This introductory tutorial gives a survey on the use of statistical designs for what-if or sensitivity analysis in simulation. This analysis uses regression analysis to approximate the input/output transformation that is implied by the simulation model; the resulting regression model is also known as metamodel, response surface, compact model, emulator, etc. Regression analysis gives better res...

sample standard deviation, is the square root of sample variance. • R book, page 50: The th quantile is at position in the sorted data. If this is not an integer, a weighted average is used. For example, as the median is the 0.5 quantile, if is even, the position is a fraction, and hence an average is used as shown above in the definition of median. The th quantile splits the dataset so that 10...
