A simulation that has any random aspects involves sampling, or generating random variates from probability distributions. There are situations in the practice of statistical research where continuous distributions are not characterized by their density or cumulative distribution function. Constructing such algorithms is a special problem of random variate generation. The objective of this work is to implement, test and improve these algorithms. It is investigated whether such algorithms in the literature can be used in practice, namely, in simulation. In the first part, the book provides a...

The aim of this work is to determine the best values of total printing volume of magazines and the amounts that are sent to sales points, through forecasting and determination of optimum service level to be provided. The first part of the book deals with forecasting the sales endpoint demands for the future issue. Especially, the handling of the censored demand in case of sellout is analyzed. Also, studies are carried out for nding the optimum parameters of the forecasting method. The two main strategies used for planning are mentioned: top-down and bottom-up. The top-down approach rst...
