Validating Simulation Models Using Resampling
نویسنده
چکیده
Statistical resampling methods provide a simple, versatile and effective means of comparing and validating simulation models. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the framework for viewing such problems that the author has found very effective in tackling a wide range of practical situations. The methodology discussed already exists, and is generally available through the more specialist statistical packages. The main message of this paper is that the methodology is actually easily implemented on spreadsheets and so does not need specialist knowledge to use effectively. The commonly occurring problem of input modelling is considered in detail to illustrate how it can be tackled using spreadsheet resampling.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Bottom Outlet Hydraulic Model
Using experimental models along with conducting numerical analysis have been widely used in performance recognition and optimization of hydraulic equipments. Numerical modeling has lower cost rather than experimental one; however practical tests are commonly used because of the hydraulic structure importance especially in dams. Meanwhile numerical methods could be used for future designs throug...
متن کاملAllele frequency estimation from ambiguous data: using resampling schema in validating frequency estimates and in selective neutrality testing.
The development of molecular typing techniques applied to the study of population genetic diversity originates data with increasing precision but at the cost of some ambiguities. As distinct techniques may produce distinct kinds of ambiguities, a crucial issue is to assess the differences between frequency distributions estimated from data produced by alternative techniques for the same sample....

While Bayesian methodology has been for decades widely applied to econo metric models, robust methods had just lately gained more attention of econo metricians. More recently, simulation-based techniques, such as the Sampling Importance Resampling (SIR) algorithm, have become useful and popular ap proaches to statistical problems. This article puts together the robust and Bayesian approache...

متن کاملGoodness of Fit Tests in Random Coefficient Regression Models]
Random coefficient regressions have been applied in a wide range of fields, from biology to economics, and constitute a common frame for several important statistical models. A nonparametric approach to inference in random coefficient models was initiated by Beran and Hall. In this paper we introduce and study goodness of fit tests for the coefficient distributions; their asymptotic behaviour u...
