The application of control variables to the simulation of closed queueing networks
Abstract
Control variables are presented which reduce the variance of estimators of steady state response characteristics in the simulation of a broad class of closed queueing networks. Statistical aspects of applying control variables in this context are discussed, and results of extensive empirical studies, conducted to evaluate the control variables, are summarized.
