Guidelines for successful simulation studies

Abstract

Guidelines are given for conducting a simulation study. The guidelines are provided throughout the entire life cycle of a simulation study that is composed of ten processes, ten phases, and 13 credibility assessment stages. An overall evaluation scheme for assessing the acceptability and credibility of simulation results is proposed.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
