Simulation Summary

Simulation by Sheldon M. Ross (Professor, Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA)

Simulation, Sixth Edition continues to introduce aspiring and practicing actuaries, engineers, computer scientists and others to the practical aspects of constructing computerized simulation studies to analyze and interpret real phenomena. Readers will learn to apply the results of these analyses to problems in a wide variety of fields to obtain effective, accurate solutions and make predictions. By explaining how a computer can be used to generate random numbers and how to use these random numbers to generate the behavior of a stochastic model over time, this book presents the statistics needed to analyze simulated data and validate simulation models.

Simulation Reviews

"This textbook contains and describes all the tools one needs to plan and to carry out a simulation study as well as to analyze its results." --J.Wolters, zbMATH Open "It presents the statistics needed to analyze simulated data and to validate the simulation model. In this edition, several new topics are included as well as a number of new exercises." --Vigirdas Mackevicius, zbMATH Open
