Title
Optimal computing budget allocation with input uncertainty.
Abstract
In this study, we consider ranking and selection problems where the simulation model is subject to input uncertainty. Under the input uncertainty, we compare system designs based on their worst-case performance, and seek to maximize the probability of selecting the design with the best performance under the worst-case scenario. By approximating the probability of correct selection (PCS), we develop an asymptotically (as the simulation budget goes to infinity) optimal solution of the resulting problem. An efficient selection procedure is designed within the optimal computing budget allocation (OCBA) framework. Numerical tests show the high efficiency of the proposed method.
