It introduces object-oriented programming for simulation, covers both the probabilistic and statistical basis for simulation in a rigorous but accessible manner (providing all necessary background material), and provides a modern treatment of experiment design and analysis that goes beyond classical statistics. The book emphasizes essential foundations throughout, rather than providing a compendium of algorithms and theorems, and prepares the reader to use simulation in research as well as practice. The book is a rigorous but concise treatment, emphasizing lasting principles, but also providing specific training in modeling, programming and analysis. In addition to teaching readers how to do simulation, it also prepares them to use simulation in their research; no other book does this.International Series in Operations Research & Management Science,2214-7934Operations researchManagement scienceComputer simulationOperations Research and Decision TheoryOperations Research, Management ScienceComputer ModellingOperations research.Management science.Computer simulation.Operations Research and Decision Theory.Operations Research, Management Science.Computer Modelling.519.2Nelson Barryauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut511773MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910438089803321Foundations and Methods of Stochastic Simulation2522998UNINA
