Simulation Modeling and Analysis, (美國原版) 6/e (模擬建模與分析 (美國原版) 第6版)

Comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of every important simulation technique

This fully-revised book has the most comprehensive and up-to-date coverage of all aspects of a simulation study. Equally well suited for use in university courses, simulation practice, and self-study, the book offers clear and intuitive explanations as well as 300 figures, 218 examples, and 217 problems. You will get detailed discussions on modeling and simulation, simulation software, model verification and validation, input modeling, random-number and variate generation, statistical design and analysis of simulation experiments, experimental design, simulation optimization, agent-based simulation, machine learning, and much more.

Authored by an operations research analyst and industrial engineer with more than 40 years of experience, Simulation Modeling and Analysis is widely regarded as the "bible" of simulation and now has more than 178,000 copies in print and 23,700 citations. This sixth edition has been streamlined, with several chapters downsized to eliminate outdated simulation programs or statistical techniques that are rarely used in practice and are unnecessarily complicated. Most analyses of simulation output data can now be done using three simple and familiar statistical formulas or expressions. A new chapter covers AI and machine learning and their application to simulation.
