Building a simulation model for any large complex system requires high expertise and effort. These requirements can be reduced through building generic simulation capability that ...
A complex, stochastic simulation model of Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is examined through factor screening to determine which factors in the model are important. The factor screening ...
In utilizing the technique of stratification, the user needs to first partition/stratify the sample space; the next task is to determine how to allocate samples to strata. How to ...
We present the basic concepts of experimental design, the types of goals it can address, and why it is such an important and useful tool for simulation. A well-designed experiment...
In the past decade there has been an explosion in the use of system dynamics modeling in healthcare. Despite this, the approach is still far less well known than discreteevent sim...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
Experienced and wise industrial engineering educators and practitioners have long understood that industrial engineering is a coherent discipline encompassing techniques that work...
