Sequential Designs for Simulation Experiments: Nonlinear Regression Metamodeling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we propose a method to select an experimental design for estimating nonlinear simulation metamodels. Through a careful selection of design points, the method provides better fitting results than equally spaced point selection, with the same simulation effort. This method accounts for the input/output function of the simulation model, possibly a mathematical function nonlinear in the parameters. In spite of the fact that the paper concentrates on nonlinear regression metamodels, the method may be applied to other type of metamodels. The procedure is easy to construct (so, it is attractive to be used in practice) and focus on simulations scenarios in sub-regions where the input/output behavior has more interest. This procedure is illustrated with an application to a automobile parts factory. Finally, we draw some conclusions.area.

Simulation Modelling Practice and Theory
The construction of a nonlinear regression metamodel for simulation requires experimental designs that better explore the nonlinearities of the system. The proposed sequential procedure focuses on simulation scenarios in sub-regions where the input–output behavior is more interesting. It takes into account, not only the inputs, but also the output (response) value of the metamodel. The resultin...
متن کاملCustomized sequential designs for random simulation experiments: Kriging metamodeling and bootstrapping
This paper proposes a novel method to select an experimental design for interpolation in random simulation. (Though the paper focuses on Kriging, this method may also apply to other types of metamodels such as linear regression models.) Assuming that simulation requires much computer time, it is important to select a design with a small number of observations (or simulation runs). The proposed ...

متن کاملApplication-driven sequential designs for simulation experiments: Kriging metamodelling
This paper proposes a novel method to select an experimental design for interpolation in simulation. Although the paper focuses on Kriging in deterministic simulation, the method also applies to other types of metamodels (besides Kriging), and to stochastic simulation. The paper focuses on simulations that require much computer time, so it is important to select a design with a small number of ...
