SAMPLE SIZES AND CONFIDENCE INTERVALS ASSOCIATED WITH A MONTE CARLO SIMULATION MODEL POSSESSING A MULTINOMIAL OUTPUT

A new classification of Monte Carlo digital computer simulations is suggested. The body of this paper centers on the determination of sample sizes and confidence intervals associated with a simulation model which has a multinomially distributed output. A brief description of a ‘multinomial’ Monte Carlo model is given. The theoretical considerations put forth are then verified on this model. © 1969, Sage Publications. All rights reserved.
