ÔTrace-driven' or Ôcorrelated inspection' simulation means that the simulated and the real systems have some common inputs (say, arrival times) so the two systems' outputs are cross-correlated. To validate such simulation models, this paper formulates six validation statistics, which are...

Five bootstrapping techniques are examined and compared on their potential for bias reduction. Four of these techniques are from literature, and one is new. An extensive study on a literature example reveals the superiority of the new technique.
