A Sequential Neighbor Exploratory Experimental Design Method for Complex Simulation Metamodeling [PDF]

open access: yes2019 Spring Simulation Conference (SpringSim), 2019
Since complex simulation contains many factors and responses that interact in a nonlinear manner, it is important to use metamodeling for representing the causal relationships within the simulation models in a compact way. With the selected mathematical structure, the effectiveness of metamodeling depends on the comprehensiveness of the training data ...
