Coverage Analysis of Sequential Regenerative Simulation
نویسنده
چکیده
Regenerative simulation (RS) is a method of stochastic steady-state simulation in which output data are collected and analysed within regenerative cycles (RCs). Since data collected during consecutive RCs are independent and identically distributed, there is no problem with the initial transient period in simulated processes, which is a perennial issue of concern in all other types of steady-state simulation. In this report, we address the issue of experimental analysis of the quality of sequential regenerative simulation in the sense of the coverage of the final confidence intervals of mean values. The ultimate purpose of this study is to determine the best version of RS to be implemented in Akaroa2 [1], a fully automated controller of distributed stochastic simulation in computer network environments.

Quality of Sequential Regenerative Simulation

متن کاملSequential Estimation of Quantiles
Quantiles are convenient measures of the entire range of values of simulation outputs. However, unlike the mean and standard deviation, the observations have to be stored since calculation of quantiles requires several passes through the data. Thus, quantile estimation(QE) requires a large amount of computer storage and computation time. Several approaches for estimating quantiles in RS(regener...
متن کاملMoving Towards Accountability for Reasonableness – A Systematic Exploration of the Features of Legitimate Healthcare Coverage Decision-Making Processes Using Rare Diseases and Regenerative Therapies as a Case Study
Background The accountability for reasonableness (A4R) framework defines 4 conditions for legitimate healthcare coverage decision processes: Relevance, Publicity, Appeals, and Enforcement. The aim of this study was to reflect on how the diverse features of decision-making processes can be aligned with A4R conditions to guide decisio...
متن کاملRefining Spectral Analysis for Confidence Interval Estimation in Sequential Simulation
The method of Spectral Analysis proposed by Heidelberger and Welch (SA/HW) is an effective and efficient way of calculating the error of a sample mean in sequential simulation. A simple modification to the method improves the coverage of the resulting estimators in the case of sequential simulation.
متن کاملA new stochastic 3D seismic inversion using direct sequential simulation and co-simulation in a genetic algorithm framework
Stochastic seismic inversion is a family of inversion algorithms in which the inverse solution was carried out using geostatistical simulation. In this work, a new 3D stochastic seismic inversion was developed in the MATLAB programming software. The proposed inversion algorithm is an iterative procedure that uses the principle of cross-over genetic algorithms as the global optimization techniqu...
