A Procedure for Building Confidence Interval on the Mean of Simulation Output Data
One of the existing methods to build a confidence interval (c.i.) for the mean response in a single steady state simulation system is the batch means method. This method, compared to the other existing methods (autoregressive representation, regenerative cycles, spectrum analysis, standardized time series), is quite easy to understand and to implement and performs relatively well. However, the ...
متن کاملConfidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملBatch Means and Spectral Variance Estimators in Markov Chain Monte Carlo
Calculating a Monte Carlo standard error (MCSE) is an important step in the statistical analysis of the simulation output obtained from a Markov chain Monte Carlo experiment. An MCSE is usually based on an estimate of the variance of the asymptotic normal distribution. We consider spectral and batch means methods for estimating this variance. In particular, we establish conditions which guarant...
متن کاملSequential Batch Means Techniques for Mean Value Analysis in Distributed Simulation
In this paper we stress the necessity of design of eecient procedures for constructing conndence intervals of mean values in a simulation environment of multiple replications in parallel. Considering the popular approach based on analysis of batch means, we implemented and investigated sequential variant techniques that can give us an attractive speedup in simulation experiments of dynamic comp...
متن کاملEstimating standard errors for importance sampling estimators with multiple Markov chains
The naive importance sampling estimator based on the samples from a single importance density can be extremely numerically unstable. We consider multiple distributions importance sampling estimators where samples from more than one probability distributions are combined to consistently estimate means with respect to given target distributions. These generalized importance sampling estimators pr...
