  2. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    Human-in-the-loop simulation of outer space Visualization of a direct numerical simulation model. Historically, simulations used in different fields developed largely independently, but 20th-century studies of systems theory and cybernetics combined with spreading use of computers across all those fields have led to some unification and a more systematic view of the concept.

  3. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Modeling and simulation (M&S) is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, behavioral, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making.

  4. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    A 48-hour computer simulation of Typhoon Mawar using the Weather Research and Forecasting model Process of building a computer model, and the interplay between experiment, simulation, and theory Computer simulation is the running of a mathematical model on a computer , the model being designed to represent the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a ...

  5. Verification and validation of computer simulation models

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verification_and...

    If the mean of the model is μ m and the mean of system is μ s then the difference between the model and the system is D = μ m - μ s. The hypothesis to be tested is if D is within the acceptable range of accuracy. Let L = the lower limit for accuracy and U = upper limit for accuracy. Then H 0 L ≤ D ≤ U. versus H 1 D < L or D > U. is to ...

  6. Simulation-based optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation-based_optimization

    Usually, the underlying simulation model is stochastic, so that the objective function must be estimated using statistical estimation techniques (called output analysis in simulation methodology). Once a system is mathematically modeled, computer-based simulations provide information about its behavior.

  7. Uncertainty quantification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_quantification

    Simulation-based methods: Monte Carlo simulations, importance sampling, adaptive sampling, etc. General surrogate-based methods: In a non-instrusive approach, a surrogate model is learnt in order to replace the experiment or the simulation with a cheap and fast approximation. Surrogate-based methods can also be employed in a fully Bayesian fashion.

  8. Statistical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_model

    A statistical model is a mathematical model that embodies a set of statistical assumptions concerning the generation of sample data (and similar data from a larger population). A statistical model represents, often in considerably idealized form, the data-generating process . [ 1 ]

  9. Computational statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_statistics

    The terms 'computational statistics' and 'statistical computing' are often used interchangeably, although Carlo Lauro (a former president of the International Association for Statistical Computing) proposed making a distinction, defining 'statistical computing' as "the application of computer science to statistics", and 'computational ...
