Abstract:

For sequential output data analysis in non-terminating discrete-event simulation, we consider three methods of point and interval estimation of the steady-state variance. We assess their performance in the analysis of the output of queueing simulations by means of experimental cover- age analysis. Over a range of models, estimating variances turns out to involve considerably more observations than estimating means. Thus, selecting estimators with good performance characteristics is even more important.
