Abstract: |
In discrete event steady-state
simulation, deletion of data from the initial transient phase of the
simulation is usually recommended in order to reduce the bias of the final
estimates. Various heuristics and tests have been proposed to aid with this.
The plummeting cost of simulation, combined with uncertainties about the
overall reliability of the estimation of the transient period, suggest
revisiting the notion that deletion is essential, especially for longer
simulations. We consider this in a sequential simulation framework |
