The joint use of computer simulation experiments and metamodels introduces a source of uncertainty that we refer to as metamodel variability. To analyze and quantify this variability, we apply bootstrapping to residuals derived as prediction errors computed from cross-validation. The proposed method can be used with different types of metamodels, especially when limited knowledge on parameters’ distribution is available or when a limited computational budget is allowed. Our preliminary experiments based on the robust version of the EOQ model show encouraging results. date: 2012-12 date_type: published publisher: ACM event_title: Winter Simulation Conference 2012 event_location: Berlin, Germany event_dates: December 9-12, 2012 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4673-4780-8 book_title: WSC '12 Proceedings of the Winter Simulation Conference official_url: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2430206 citation: Dellino, Gabriella and Meloni, Carlo Metamodel variability analysis combining bootstrapping and validation techniques.
