Abstract:

Confidence intervals obtained by bootstrap methods and normal approximation are compared, based on output data from terminating and steady-state simulations. Bootstrap intervals are equal or better than normal approximation intervals in actual probability coverages. Furthermore, bootstrap methods capture the skewness in the distribution of outputs and, therefore, are more desirable than normal approximation
