讲座摘要:
We consider a recently proposed simulation-based decision-making framework, called simulation with covariates. In this framework, simulation experiments are not performed after the target problem is set up with all the input parameters (known as the covariates, side information or auxiliary information in the literature); instead, they are performed before that with all the possible parameters that might come up in the target problem. Then, these computational results are directly used in real time for system evaluation or system optimization when the input parameters of the target problem are known. In this research, we will follow this framework and use stochastic kriging (SK) to model the system performance from the covariate space. Two measures, namely the maximal integrated mean squared error (IMSE) and integrated probability of false selection (IPFS), are proposed to evaluate the prediction errors for system evaluation and system optimization respectively. We establish the convergence rates of these two measures with the number of covariate points. They quantify the magnitude of prediction errors for the online application after a certain period of time is spent for offline simulation.
