Simulation-optimization studies: under efficient stimulationstrategies, and a novel response surface methodology algorithm
While attempting to solve optimization problems, the lack of an explicit mathematical expression of the problem may preclude the application of the standard methods of optimization which prove valuable in an analytical framework. In such situations, computer simulations are used to obtain the mean r...
