Abstract :
We investigate and discuss some of the main issues concerning the estimation of nonlinear simulation metamodels. We propose a methodology for identifying a tentative functional relationship, estimating the metamodel coefficients and validating the simulation metamodel. This approach is illustrated with a simple queueing system. Finally, we draw some conclusions and identify topics for further work in this area
