Using conditional expectation to reduce variance in discrete event simulation
Abstract
We review the method of using conditional expectation to reduce variance in discrete event simulation and present a new application to the simulation of queueing networks. This method can be particularly useful in reducing variance when estimating quantities associated with rare events.
