These metamodels are combined with Non-Linear Mathematical Programming (NLMP) to find robust solutions. Varying the constraint values in this NLMP gives an estimated Pareto frontier. To account for the variability of this estimated Pareto frontier, this contribution considers different bootstrap methods to obtain confidence regions for a given solution. This methodology is illustrated through some case studies selected from the literature. date: 2010-12 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 1283 -1294 event_title: Winter Simulation Conference (WSC), Proceedings of the 2010 id_number: 10.1109/WSC.2010.5679064 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4244-9866-6 book_title: Winter Simulation Conference (WSC) official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=5679064&isnumber=5678856 citation: Dellino, Gabriella and Kleijnen, Jack P.C. and Meloni, Carlo Parametric and distribution-free bootstrapping in robust simulation-optimization.
