An Heuristic Technique for Selecting the Run-Length of Non-Terminating Steady-State Simulations

Stewart Robinson

Aston Business School Aston University Birmingham, B4 7ET United Kingdom

Increasing the run-length of a non- terminating steady-state simulation improves confidence in the results obtained. Yet the questions need to be asked: how long should a run be and what level of confidence is obtained? This paper describes an heuristic technique for selecting the run-length which enables the user to measure the level of confidence achieved. An heuristic technique has been developed deliberately to enable implementation by both expert and non- expert users.

Key Words: simulation • heuristic • non- terminating • steady-state • run-length • confidence • convergence
