Factor Screening in Computer Simulation: Considerations in Performance Evaluation.

Abstract

Although computer simulation is a major area in which factor screening situations are frequently encountered, adequate methodology has not been developed to resolve the factor screening problem. Within the constraint of a limited number of computer runs, a decision must be made about the selection of a screening strategy that will perform efficiently and effectively. This report reviews the major classes of screening designs that have been suggested and recommends two strategies for further research. In addition, a fundamental screening model is defined, and a performance measure for evaluating screening strategies is developed. (Author)
