This paper reviews statistical methods for analyzing output data from computer simulations of single systems. In particular, it focuses on the problems of choosing initial conditions and estimating steady-state system parameters. The estimation techniques include the replication/deletion approach, the regenerative method, the batch means method, and the standardized time series method.

In this paper, a control system design oriented analysis of a batch reactor used for tanning waste recovery is presented. The analysis is performed with the help of modelling and simulation means and provides useful information for optimal control design of the process.

This paper reviews statistical methods for analyzing output data from computer simulations. First, it focuses on the estimation of steady-state system parameters. The estimation techniques include the replication/deletion approach, the regenerative method, the batch means method, and the standardized time series method.

In this paper, we propose an active learning technique for solving multiclass problems with support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. The technique is based on both uncertainty and diversity criteria. The uncertainty criterion is implemented by analyzing the one-dimensional output space of the SVM classifier. A simple histogram thresholding algorithm is used to find out the low density region i...

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...
