Professor Stewart Robinson Stewart Robinson Loughborough University 1 Sessio n Outline What is simulation Why use simulation Four simulation approaches Stewart Robinson Loughborough University. Then the standard simulation algorithm is 1 Generate 2 Estimate with 1 n where 3 Approximate 1001 con64257dence intervals are then given by 945 945 where is the usual estimate of Var based on Y One way to measure the quality of the estimator is These meth ods draw on two broad strategies for reducing variance taking advantage of tractable features of a model to adjust or correct simulation outputs and reducing the variability in simulation inputs We discuss control variates antithetic vari Stewart Clark.

Folks often use the term “reliability” without a very clear definition of what it is. . Methods of assessing performance - Simulation.. . Enormous advantage that a large number of replicates can be examined, and this allows us to account for .
