Title
Automating warm-up length estimation
Abstract
There are two key issues in assuring the accuracy of esti- mates of performance obtained from a simulation model. The first is the removal of any initialisation bias, the sec- ond is ensuring that enough output data is produced to ob- tain an accurate estimate of performance. This paper is concerned with the first issue, and more specifically warm- up estimation. A continuing research project is described that aims to produce an automated procedure, for inclusion into commercial simulation software, for estimating the length of warm-up and hence removing initialisation bias from simulation output data.
