This paper deals with the substantiation that a multivariate response self- or trace-driven simulation model, within its domain of applicability, possesses a satisfactory range of accuracy consistent with the intended application of the model. A methodology is developed by using simultaneous...

A procedure is developed by using Rotelling's one-sample T^2 test to test the validity of a multivariate response trace-driven simulation model that represents an observable system. The vali- dity of the simulation model is tested with respect to the mean behavior under a given experimental...
