The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of these works by making them available to future generations of statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.
". . .this is a very competently written and useful addition to
the statistical literature; a book every statistician should look
at and that many should study!"
—Short Book Reviews, International Statistical
Institute
". . .reading this book was an enjoyable learning experience.
The suggestions and recommendations on the methods [make] this book
an excellent reference for anyone interested in simulation. With
its compact structure and good coverage of material, it [is] an
excellent textbook for a simulation course."
—Technometrics
". . .this work is an excellent comprehensive guide to
simulation methods, written by a very competent author. It is
especially recommended for those users of simulation methods who
want more than a 'cook book'. "
—Mathematics Abstracts
This book is a comprehensive guide to simulation methods with explicit recommendations of methods and algorithms. It covers both the technical aspects of the subject, such as the generation of random numbers, non-uniform random variates and stochastic processes, and the use of simulation. Supported by the relevant mathematical theory, the text contains a great deal of unpublished research material, including coverage of the analysis of shift-register generators, sensitivity analysis of normal variate generators, analysis of simulation output, and more.
