DESCRIPTION:
1266, 2013) . From the reviews:“The intended audience is graduate and advanced undergraduate students. … recommended for MSc, PhD students.” (János Sztrik, zbMATH, Vol. Hayden, MAA Reviews, March, 2014)“The present book consists of 276 pages organised in 9 Chapters. … The book is clearly written, using a fairly terse style that may please instructors more than students. … can be recommended as a supplement to any simulation course.” (Robert W. … its greatest strength is the attention it gives to the modeling process
This is one of the best theory-based simulation books you can find J. Yan This is one of the best theory-based simulation books you can find. The explanation is intuitive and clear, the coding part is extremely helpful
In addition to teaching readers how to do simulation, it also prepares them to use simulation in their research; no other book does this. An online solutions manual for end of chapter exercises is also be provided.. 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. This graduate-level text covers modeling, programming and analysis of simulation experiments and provides a rigorous treatment of the foundations of simulation and why it works. 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
He has also received an award for the Charles Deering McCormick Professor of Teaching Excellence. His research includes modeling and analysis of networks of nonstationary queues. Barry L. .
