Comparison of simulation output series using bootstrapping
Comparison of simulation output series using bootstrapping
We describe a method for comparing stochastic outputs of simulation models. The method is distribution-free and allows the comparison of sets of data with different numbers of data points. This makes it ideal for performing comparisons between simulation output and the real output of the system being modelled, when often there are many more data points available from the output of the simulation model than present in the real data. We calculate the two-sample Cramer-von Mises goodness-of-fit statistic between the two sets of data, using bootstrapping to find the distribution of the statistic, and so the probability that the two sets of data were drawn from the same distribution.

Abstract
We describe a method for comparing stochastic outputs of simulation models. The method is distribution-free and allows the comparison of sets of data with different numbers of data points. This makes it ideal for performing comparisons between simulation output and the real output of the system being modelled, when often there are many more data points available from the output of the simulation model than present in the real data. We calculate the two-sample Cramer-von Mises goodness-of-fit statistic between the two sets of data, using bootstrapping to find the distribution of the statistic, and so the probability that the two sets of data were drawn from the same distribution.
