What is Simulation?
Simulation is a representation of reality through the use of a
model which will react in the same manner as reality under a
given set of conditions.
Types of Simulation
Analogue Simulation
Computer Simulation
Simulation Models
Deterministic Model
Stochastic Model
Static Model
Dynamic Model
Disadvantages
Optimum results cannot be produced
Difficulty in quantifying the variables
Difficult to make computer program due to large variables &
their inter-relationships
Expensive & time consuming method
Simulation Process
1.Define the problem
2.Construct an appropriate model
3.A
4.A
5. Evaluate the results of simulation and select best course of
action
6.Formulate proposals for advice to management
Generation of Random Numbers
Random variable:
It is a real valued function defined over a sample space associated with
the outcome of a conceptual chance experiment.
Random variate:
It refers to a particular outcome of an experiment.
Random number:
It is a no. whose probability of occurrence is the same as that of any
other no. in that sequence.
Generation of random numbers:
Arithmetic
Computer generation
Monte-Carlo Simulation
The technique of Monte-carlo involves the selection of
random observations within the simulation model.
It is restricted for application involving random
numbers to solve deterministic and stochastic problems.
This process is generation of simulated statistics that can
be explained in sample terms as choosing a random
variable and substituting this value in standard
probability density function to obtain simulated statistics.
Applications
Inventory Control
Queuing Problems
