An asymptotic allocation for simultaneous simulation experiments

Considers the allocation of a fixed total number of simulation replications among competing design alternatives in order to (i) identify the best simulated design, (ii) intelligently determine the best simulation run lengths for all simulation experiments, and (iii) significantly reduce the total computation cost. An asymptotically optimal allocation rule for maximizing a lower bound of the probability of correct selection is presented. Moreover, we illustrate the efficiency of our method with a series of generic numerical experiments. The simulation cost is significantly reduced with our sequential approach
