control variates to estimate the mean response in a designed simulation experiment. In Combined Method I, we perform h … independent pairs of simulation runs as follows---on the second run of each such pair, we use random number streams that are … simulation model; and we use independent random number streams to drive the control-variate components of the simulation model …

This paper describes a simulation study of two cases of research and development planning. The first case is for a … analyzed sequentially and concurrently by two teams. Q-GERT, a network technique, was employed for the modeling and simulation … than traditional network techniques such as CPM and PERT. The simulation results for each case in terms of project duration …

This paper presents a procedure for determining the number of simulation observations required to achieve a preassigned … confidence interval for means estimated by simulation. This procedure, which is simple to implement and efficient to use, is … compared with two other methods for determining the required sample size in a simulation run. The empirical results show that …

Many simulation experiments are concerned with the estimation of a ratio of two unknown means, the estimation of a … rate as that of confidence intervals based on the central limit theorem. We evaluate their performance by means of two …
