Leading contributors cover such topics as discrete optimization via simulation, ranking and selection, efficient simulation budget allocation, random search methods, response surface methodology, stochastic gradient estimation, stochastic approximation, sample average approximation, stochastic constraints, variance reduction techniques, model-based stochastic search methods and Markov decision processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis single volume should serve as a reference for those already in the field and as a means for those new to the field for understanding and applying the main approaches. The intended audience includes researchers, practitioners and graduate students in the business\/engineering fields of operations research, management science, operations management and stochastic control, as well as in economics\/finance and computer science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-11-14\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781493913831\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4939-1384-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 387\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378484076684,"sku":"9781493913831","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781493913831.jpg?v=1775004825","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781493913831","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
