Validation of Simulation, With and Without Real Data
Kleijnen, Jack P.C. - Tilburg University, Center for Economic Research - 1998
This paper gives a survey on how to validate simulation models through the application of mathematical statistics. The type of statistical test actually applied, depends on the availability of data on the real system: (i) no data, (ii) only output data, and (iii) both input and output data. In...

How can African agriculture adapt to climate change: Mapping the South African farming sector’s vulnerability to climate change and variability: A subnational assessment
Aymone Gbetibouo, Glwadys; Ringler, Claudia - International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) - 2009
In southern Africa, by the middle of the 21st century climate change is expected to cause temperature increases of 1–3°C, broad summer rainfall reductions of 5–10 percent, and an increase in the incidence of both droughts and floods. Consequently, climate change has significant...

The sensitivity of the Scaled Model of Error with respect to the choice of the correlation parameters: A Simulation Study
Graziani, Rebecca; Keilman, Nico - Økonomisk institutt, Universitetet i Oslo - 2010
The Scaled Model of Error has gained considerable popularity during the past ten years as a device for computing probabilistic population forecasts of the cohort-component type. In this report we investigate how sensitive probabilistic population forecasts produced by means of the Scaled Model...
