Abstract :
Experimental design issues are an important and integral aspect of most simulation studies. The intent of this paper is to provide an overview of research on design issues that are unique to experimentation in a simulation environment. Tactical issues such as the length of simulation runs and number of replications are not discussed here. Instead, we focus our discussion on strategic issues such as the selection of design plans, statistical models, input variables, and random number stream assignments.
