Corrected: 9-26-2017 IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF STOCHASTIC COMPOSITE SIMULATION MODELS VIA RESULT CACHING

چکیده
Stochastic composite simulation models, such as those created via the IBM Splash prototype platform, can be used to estimate performance measures for complex stochastic systems of systems. When, as in Splash, a composite model is made up of loosely coupled component models, we propose a method for improving the efficiency of composite-model simulations. To run n Monte Carlo replications of the composite model, we execute certain component models fewer than n times, caching and re-using results as needed. The number of component-model replications is chosen to maximize an asymptotic efficiency measure that balances computation costs and estimator precision. We initiate the study of result-caching schemes by giving an exact theoretical analysis for the most basic two-model scenario, as well as outlining some approaches for obtaining the parameter values needed for result caching.

Detection of Outliers and Influential Observations in Linear Ridge Measurement Error Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions
The aim of this paper is to propose some diagnostic methods in linear ridge measurement error models with stochastic linear restrictions using the corrected likelihood. Based on the bias-corrected estimation of model parameters, diagnostic measures are developed to identify outlying and influential observations. In addition, we derive the corrected score test statistic for outliers detection ba...

متن کاملRidge Stochastic Restricted Estimators in Semiparametric Linear Measurement Error Models
In this article we consider the stochastic restricted ridge estimation in semipara-metric linear models when the covariates are measured with additive errors. The development of penalized corrected likelihood method in such model is the basis for derivation of ridge estimates. The asymptotic normality of the resulting estimates are established. Also, necessary and sufficient condition...
متن کاملImproving MCS Enumeration via Caching
Enumeration of minimal correction sets (MCSes) of conjunctive normal form formulas is a central and highly intractable problem in infeasibility analysis of constraint systems. Often complete enumeration of MCSes is impossible due to both high computational cost and worst-case exponential number of MCSes. In such cases partial enumeration is sought for, finding applications in various domains, i...
