This paper provides a unified development of the method of control variates for simulation experiments in which the objective is estimation of a multiresponse metamodel---that is, a linear model for an output vector of simulation performance measures expressed in terms of an input vector of...

We formulate and evaluate the Automated Simulation Analysis Procedure (ASAP), an algorithm for steady-state simulation output analysis based on the method of nonover-lapping batch means (NOBM). ASAP delivers a confidence interval for an expected response that is centered on the sample mean of a...

The minimum spillage sequencing problem, which arises in real-time satellite signal data processing, requires a set of numbers to be arranged so as to minimize the "overflow" of the partial sums above an upper bound. We subject several heuristics to worst-case analysis, average-case analysis,...
