Description for Simulation
Hardcover. This text uses simulation as a computational aid in dealing with and creating models of reality. Its main objective is to incorporate simulation as an integral part of the interaction between data and the models which may have approximately generated them. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 328 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: GPFC; PBWH; PBWL; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 239 x 166 x 26. Weight in Grams: 628.
A unique, integrated treatment of computer modeling and simulation "The future of science belongs to those willing to make the shift to simulation-based modeling," predicts Rice Professor James Thompson, a leading modeler and computational statistician widely known for his original ideas and engaging style. He discusses methods, available to anyone with a fast desktop computer, for integrating simulation into the modeling process in order to create meaningful models of real phenomena. Drawing from a wealth of experience, he gives examples from trading markets, oncology, epidemiology, statistical process control, physics, public policy, combat, real-world optimization, Bayesian analyses, and population dynamics.

Reviews for Simulation
With the advent of faster computers with comparatively large storage facilities, simulation-based modeling is rapidly being adopted as an alternative approach to conventional top-down, assumptions-based, continuous, stochastic and discrete differential equation modeling. Thompson offers an interesting exposition to the art of simulation, and views "simulation approach" to modeling as a paradigm for realistic evolutionary modeling. The book is written in ... Read more
