Screening Women of Childbearing Age for Human Immunodeficiency Virus: A Model-Based Policy Analysis

Brandeau, Margaret L.; Owens, Douglas K.; Sox, Carol H.; … - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 1, pp. 72-92

This paper analyzes the costs and benefits of screening women of childbearing age for HIV. The analysis is based on a dynamic compartmental model of the HIV epidemic that incorporates disease transmission and progression over time, behavioral changes, and effects of screening and associated...

Second Derivative Sample Path Estimators for the GI/G/m Queue

Fu, Michael C.; Hu, Jian-Qiang - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 3, pp. 359-383

complications encountered in applying the technique of SPA. The most general cases require the simulation of additional sample … subpaths; however, an approximation procedure is also introduced which eliminates the need for additional simulation …. Simulation results indicate that the approximation procedure is reasonably accurate. When the service times are exponential or …

Weighted Batch Means for Confidence Intervals in Steady-State Simulations

Bischak, Diane P.; Kelton, W. David; Pollock, Stephen M. - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 8, pp. 1002-1019

We propose a new procedure for providing confidence-interval estimators of the mean of a covariance-stationary process. The procedure, a modification of the method of batch means, is an improvement over existing methods when the process displays strong correlation and a comparatively small...

Boom, Bust, and Failures to Learn in Experimental Markets

Paich, Mark; Sterman, John D. - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 12, pp. 1439-1458

Boom and bust is a pervasive dynamic for new products. Word of mouth, marketing, and learning curve effects can fuel rapid growth, often leading to overcapacity, price war, and bankruptcy. Previous experiments suggest such dysfunctional behavior can be caused by systematic "misperceptions of...

Control-Variate Models of Common Random Numbers for Multiple Comparisons with the Best

Nelson, Barry L.; Hsu, Jason C. - In: Management Science 39 (1993) 8, pp. 989-1001

Using common random numbers (CRN) in simulation experiment design is known to reduce the variance of estimators of …, specifically multiple comparisons with the best. These models explain the effect of CRN via a linear regression of the simulation … output on "control variates" that are functions of the simulation inputs. We establish theoretically, and illustrate …
