Chapter 1George Fishman’s Professional Career

Alexopoulos, Christos; Goldsman, David; Wilson, James R.

Pages: 1 –19

[In this lead article for Advancing the Frontiers of Simulation: A Festschrift in Honor of George Samuel Fishman, we survey briefly George’s professional career, summarizing his most significant contributions to the disciplines of operations research and the management sciences. We give special...

Chapter 2A Conversation with George Fishman

Alexopoulos, Christos; Goldsman, David; Wilson, James R.

Pages: 21 –42

[The following are excerpts from an extended conversation between the authors and George Fishman that was recorded over the period October 25–26, 2007.]

Chapter 3Computer Intensive Statistical Model Building

Cheng, Russell

Pages: 43 –63

[We consider resampling techniques in multiple linear regression where the objective is to identify a subset of the full set of explanatory variables that best captures the behaviour of the dependent variable, but using as few explanatory variables as possible. The total number of possible...

Chapter 4Patchwork Distributions

Ghosh, Soumyadip; Henderson, Shane G.

Pages: 65 –86

[Patchwork distributions are a class of distributions for use in simulation that can be used to model finite-dimensional random vectors with given marginal distributions and dependence properties. They are an extension of the previously developed chessboard distributions. We show how patchwork...

Chapter 5Asymptotic Validity of Batch Means Steady-State Confidence Intervals

Glynn, Peter W.; Lim, Eunji

Pages: 87 –104

[The method of batch means is a widely applied procedure for constructing steady-state confidence intervals. The traditional theoretical support for the method of batch means has rested on the assumption of a functional central limit theorem for the underlying process. We establish here that the...

Chapter 6Efficient Modeling of Delays in Discrete-Event Simulation

Henriksen, James O.

Pages: 105 –141

[Efficient modeling of delay conditions is a critical requirement of modern discrete-event simulation software. In this article four forms of delay are discussed: time-based, state-based, compound combinations of time-based and state-based, and user-managed. Most of the algorithms described are...

Chapter 7Sampling from Linear Multivariate Densities

Hörmann, Wolfgang; Leydold, Josef

Pages: 143 –151

[It is well known that the generation of random vectors with non-independent components is difficult. Nevertheless, we propose a new and very simple generation algorithm for multivariate linear densities over point-symmetric domains. Among other applications it can be used to design a simple...

Chapter 8Factor Screening in Simulation Experiments: Review of Sequential Bifurcation

Kleijnen, Jack P. C.

Pages: 153 –167

[Factor screening means searching for the most important factors (or inputs) among the many factors that may be varied in an experiment with a real or a simulated system. This chapter gives a review of Sequential Bifurcation (SB), which is a screening method for simulation experiments in which...

Chapter 9F2-Linear Random Number Generators

L’Ecuyer, Pierre; Panneton, François

Pages: 169 –193

[Random number generators based on linear recurrences modulo 2 are among the fastest long-period generators currently available. The uniformity and independence of the points they produce, by taking vectors of successive output values from all possible initial states, can be measured by...

Chapter 10Opportunities and Challenges in Health Care Simulation

Seila, Andrew F.; Brailsford, Sally

Pages: 195 –229

[The delivery of health care is a complex and expensive process that presently is failing to meet the expectations and standards of patients, physicians, administrators and government entities. Simulation tools, both discrete-event simulation and system dynamics, enable managers to better...
