Validation of Trace-Driven Simulation Models: Bootstrap Tests
针对迹驱动仿真（模拟与真实系统共享部分输入）的验证问题，提出基于重复运行的自助法来评估平均响应差异，并通过单服务台队列的蒙特卡洛实验验证了该方法的错误概率可接受。
Trace-driven (or correlated inspection) simulation means that the simulated and the real systems have some common inputs (say, historical arrival times) so that the two systems' outputs are cross-correlated. To validate such a simulation, this paper focuses on the difference between the average simulated and real responses. To evaluate this validation statistic, the paper develops a novel bootstrap technique—based on replicated runs. This validation statistic and the bootstrap technique are evaluated in extensive Monte Carlo experiments with specific single-server queues. These experiments show acceptable Type-I and Type-II error probabilities.
