  • Abstract
    Discrete-event simulation almost invariably makes uses of random quantities drawn from given probability distributions to model chance fluctuations. This paper discusses how to choose appropriate distributions. The two main points addressed are (a) the factors which should be considered in selecting input distributions, and (b) how the effect of errors in making an inappropriate or inexact choice will influence the accuracy of final simulation results.
