This graduate-level text covers modeling, programming and analysis of simulation experiments and provides a rigorous treatment of the foundations of simulation and why it works. It introduces object-oriented programming for simulation, covers both the probabilistic and statistical basis for simulation in a rigorous but accessible manner (providing all necessary background material); and provides a modern treatment of experiment design and analysis that goes beyond classical statistics. The book emphasizes essential foundations throughout, rather than providing a compendium of algorithms and theorems and prepares the reader to use simulation in research as well as practice.
The book is a rigorous, but concise ... Read more

Reviews for Foundations and Methods of Stochastic Simulation
From the reviews: “The intended audience is graduate and advanced undergraduate students. … The book is clearly written, using a fairly terse style that may please instructors more than students. … its greatest strength is the attention it gives to the modeling process. … can be recommended as a supplement to any simulation course.” (Robert W. Hayden, MAA Reviews, ... Read more
