Modern Statistical Systems and GPSS Simulation introduces the theory and implementation of discret-event simulation. This text establishes a theoretical basis for simulation methodology, provides details of an important simulation language (GPSS - General Purpose Simulation System), and integrates these two elements in a systems simulation case study. Valuable additions to the second edition include coverage of random number generators with astronomic period, new entropy-based tests of uniformity, gamma variate generation, results on the GLD and variance reduction techniques.

"""This book is an impressive compendium of the most commonly used classical statistical procedures that one is likely to encounter either in practice or in the literature where statistical methods are applied."" - Karen Kafadar, University of Colorado-Denver, in the Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1997"
