4 W. DAVID KELTON ProfessorDirector, Master of Science in Quantitative Analysis (MSQA) Program Department of Quantitative Analysis and Operations Management University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, Ohio His Interests • Computer simulation methods and applications • Applied stochastic processes • Operations research • Statistical methods
Scope and purpose • Suggestions for new ways of generating random inputs in simulation-modeling software is the scope of this study. • Purpose of the author in writing this proceeding is to discuss approaches for effective generation of uncertain inputs in computer-simulation models.
Different kinds of simulation models and inputs • Deterministic Simulations – Stochastic Simulations • Static Simulation Model – Dynamic Simulation Model • Structural Components – Quantitative Components • Deterministic Inputs – Random Inputs
Common assumption about random inputs • Mutually independent random inputs • Random inputs itself as a stream of independent and identically distrubution
Common assumption about random inputs • Example-1; A patient arriving to an urgent-care facility • Example-2; A telecommunications system • Example-2; A call center
Generating and representing random input to a simulation • Using actual data (observed) • Fitting data • Empirical distribution
Assigning random numbers to improve precision • Random number generation • Pseudo • True
Conclusions • Importance of input random process • Model’s Validity – Model Precision
