Statistical Analysis for Use with the Schruben and Margolin Correlation Induction Strategy

Abstract

In 1978, L. W. Schruben and B. H. Margolin recommended a correlation induction strategy for a special class of multipopulation simulation experiments. In this paper we present methods for conducting statistical analysis when using their strategy. We give formulas for parameter estimation, hypothesis testing and confidence interval estimation. An example demonstrates the mechanics of the formulas.
