investigating pairwise convergence of output for $n$ countries, $n(n-1)/2$ tests are performed. We propose to control the false … convergence of per capita output using a time series definition with the necessary condition of no unit root in the log per …

- ceptable. The methodology combines simulation, bootstrapping, and metamodeling. The methodology is illustrated through a …-factorial design. The resulting simulation In- put/Output (I/O) data are analyzed through a first-order polynomial metamodel and …

This paper proposes a novel method to select an experimental design for interpolation in random simulation.(Though the ….)Assuming that simulation requires much computer time, it is important to select a design with a small number of observations (or … simulation runs).The proposed method is therefore sequential.Its novelty is that it accounts for the specific input …

This article uses a sequentialized experimental design to select simulation input com- binations for global … input/output data of the simulation model (computer code). This design and analysis adapt the clas- sic "expected …
