: Technical methodologies for generating and testing random numbers and variates, essential for stochastic simulations.
The book defines system simulation as a numerical technique for conducting experiments on a digital computer. This involves creating mathematical and logical relationships that describe the behavior of a system over time. Hira emphasizes that simulation is most valuable when experimentation on the actual system is too risky, expensive, or physically impossible. Key Topics Covered
The 2nd edition of the book spans eleven chapters, offering a systematic approach to both discrete and continuous simulation.
: Modeling patient flow and resource allocation in hospitals.
: A core chapter dedicated to this statistical technique for modeling uncertainty and probabilistic systems.
